But now look around in the Gospels, search the Christian creeds — you will never find a word in them, and you will never find a mental image anywhere in Jesus: that is the mental image of the ideal human being as Strauss has constructed him. The human race, thought of abstractly, is nowhere to be found in the Gospels. It is significant that the 19th century arrived at an image of Jesus based on a mental image that Jesus never hinted at or expressed in his life.
