Jesuism, also called Jesusism or Jesuanism, is the philosophy or teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and the adherence to them.〔Bouck White. ''The Call of the Carpenter.'' USA: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1911. p.314.〕 Jesuism considers Jesus as the supreme authority of Christianity. Within Jesuism, one seeks to restore Jesus' sayings to their original purity. This includes eradicating human interpolations of the Gospels and misconceptions revealed by recent archaeological research. Jesuism is distinct from and sometimes opposed to mainstream directions.〔Owen J. Flanagan. ''The Really Hard Problem: Meaning in a Material World.'' Cambridge: MIT Press, 2007. p.36〕 In particular, the term is often contrasted with the theology attributed to Paul of Tarsus and mainstream church dogma.〔Edgar Dewitt Jones. ''(Paul the Stranger. )'' Abilene: Voice of Jesus, 2003 (online transcription).〕〔Douglas J. Del Tondo. ''(Jesus' Words Only ).'' San Diego: Infinity Publishing, 2006. p.19〕 While not being opposed to the Christian Bible or Church doctrine, Jesuism does not affirm their authority over the teachings of Jesus. As a philosophy, Owen Flanagan characterized Jesuism as naturalistic and rationalist, rejecting the conflict between faith and science.〔Owen J. Flanagan. ''The Really Hard Problem: Meaning in a Material World.'' Cambridge: MIT Press, 2007. p.263〕 Though not specifically associated with Jesuism, the red letter Bibles are one method of studying the teachings of Jesus. Another is the Jefferson Bible. Many New Testament scholars have tried to identify Jesus' authentic sayings and actions; Géza Vermes, in particular, in his ''The Authentic Gospel of Jesus'' identifies what elements of the synoptic gospels are attributable to Jesus.〔The Authentic Gospel of Jesus. Geza Vermes. Penguin Books. 2003〕 == Etymology == The term "Jesuism" was coined by the late 1800s. It is derived from "Jesus" (Jesus of Nazareth) + "-ism" (English suffix, a characteristic or system of beliefs, from French ''-isme'', Latin ''-ismus'', Greek ''-ismos''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesuism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
