"I am a Jew,
but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the
Nazarene." ~Albert
Einstein |
Viereck interview (1929)
"What Life Means to Einstein:
An Interview by George Sylvester Viereck" The Saturday
Evening Post (26 October 1929) p. 17. As reported in
Einstein — A Life (1996) by
Denis Brian, when asked about a clipping from a magazine
article reporting his comments on Christianity as taken down
by Viereck, Einstein carefully
read the clipping and replied, "That is what I believe."
- As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and
in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the
luminous figure of the Nazarene.
- Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers,
however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a
bon mot.
- No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual
presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word.
No myth is filled with such life.
