P1366:1, 124:0.1
Although Jesus might have enjoyed a better opportunity for schooling at Alexandria
than in Galilee, he could not have had such a splendid environment for working
out his own life problems with a minimum of educational guidance, at the same
time enjoying the great advantage of constantly contacting with such a large
number of all classes of men and women hailing from every part of the civilized
world. Had he remained at Alexandria, his education would have been directed
by Jews and along exclusively Jewish lines. At Nazareth he secured an education
and received a training which more acceptably prepared him to understand the
gentiles, and which gave him a better and more balanced idea of the relative
merits of the Eastern, or Babylonian, and the Western, or Hellenic, views
of Hebrew theology.
