| Summary |
"The First True Gentleman: A Study of the Human Nature of Our Lord" by Anonymous is a theological exploration written in the early 20th century. This book examines the character and qualities of Jesus Christ, proposing that He exemplifies the true nature of a gentleman. The work delves into moral and ethical considerations, using Christ's life and teachings as a framework for understanding broader concepts of gentility and virtue. The narrative posits that the essence of a true gentleman is embodied in the qualities of truth, courage, pity, and selflessness demonstrated by Christ throughout His life. The author highlights significant moments in Christ's existence, including His engagements with society, His behavior during trials, and His final moments on the cross, illustrating how these instances reveal a profound moral character. The book argues that the significance of gentility transcends class or birth, emphasizing that being a gentleman is determined by one’s actions and adherence to moral principles, which reflect Christ's teachings and sacrifice. Through this study, readers are encouraged to aspire to these ideals, reinforcing the notion that true gentlemanly qualities begin with empathy and integrity.
