On glances in Roman Brandstaetter’s Jezus z Nazarethu (Jesus of Nazareth)

Abstract

In this draft I create a preliminary presentation of the topic. This article is a kind of an outline of a larger whole. It indicates the essential parts of the main topic. It points out several important, interpretative theses. It orders the research material and suggests potential opportunities for analyses and studies. The looks in Jesus of Nazareth are ordered personally. They have different characters and meanings. There are looks that are trivial, everyday, ordinary. The characters of the tetralogy look at each other, look at Jerusalem and landscapes. But there are also special looks, by means of which the characters try to recognize who Jesus is. Many times Jesus looks at people and falls into an interpersonal relationship with them. The thesis of this outline is that the most important are those looks which help to realize who Jesus of Nazareth is. Therefore the looks as a "story" on Jesus complete the act of adoration, thanksgiving for the one, "WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO WILL COME" (Rev. 4.8).
