Mangasar Magurditch Mangasarian, The Truth About Jesus, Is He A Myth?,<br />

1909<br />

In Christ Myth II (1912), <strong>Drews</strong> describes the cultural commotion:<br />

Now the whole Press is engaged against the disturber of the peace...Opposing<br />

lectures and Protestant meetings are organised, and J. Weiss publicly declares<br />

that the author of the book has no right to be taken seriously. But among his<br />

fellows, within the four walls of the lecture-hall, and in the printed version of his<br />

lectures, Weiss assures his readers that he has taken the matter 'very<br />

seriously', and speaks of the fateful hour through which our [theological]<br />

science is passing. [emphasis added]<br />

Most significant theologian scholars immediately felt the need to take up the<br />

challenge and entered the debate sparked off by <strong>Drews</strong>'s Christ Myth about the<br />

Historicity of Jesus. Most of the responses world-wide by theologians were<br />

violently negative and critical.
