Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares two articles that compares Jesus and Socrates. “Jesus and Socrates,” written by Bostick (1916), and “A Comparison of the Portrait of Jesus in the Gospels with the Portrait of Socrates in the Writing of Plato and Xenophon,” written by Bostick (1935), address the same topic and make similar assumptions about that topic. Each of these authors offers a comparison between Jesus and Socrates that serves to underscore the parallels in the lives of two men who changed the course of history with their philosophy and teachings. Nevertheless, while the points made in both of these articles are every similar, these articles are also quite different. This is primarily because of their level of scholarship and the individual writing style of each author. Based on these t two factors, another difference is that one can logically assume that each article was written with a different reading audience in mind. No additional sources cited.

these articles are every similar, these articles are also quite different. This is primarily because of their level of scholarship and the individual writing style of each author. Based on
these t two factors, another difference is that one can logically assume that each article was written with a different reading audience in mind. The basic premise

in all Christian dogma, regardless of denomination. The authors describe how both men led simple lives, threatened those in authority and stressed the joy of teaching and reaching out to
fellow human beings in a manner intended to better their listeners lives through their pedagogy. However, the authors go about making these points using very different levels of scholarship.
For example, Bostick (1935) makes copious use of footnotes, drawing on the works of Plato and Xenophon, who were two of Socrates disciples, as well as the portrait of Jesus
that can be drawn from gospel accounts. Bostick (1935) cites specific scriptural passages that support her positions. While Bostick (1916) indicates that a reference to Jesus teaching style occurs in
Johns Gospel, he does not cite the precise location of the scripture; nor, does he indicate, precisely, where in ancient literature he found the quotations that he attributes to Socrates.
