Description

In this exciting book, Paula Fredriksen explains the number of New Testament images of Jesus by exploring the ways in which the brand new Christian communities interpreted his mission and message in light of the delay of the Kingdom he had preached. A new introduction reviews probably the most contemporary scholarship on Jesus and its implications for both history and theology.

“Brilliant and enjoyable. . . . Magisterial.”—Géza Vermés, Times Literary Supplement

“Brilliant and lucidly written, full of original and fascinating insights.”—Reginald H. Fuller, Journal of the American Academy of Religion

“It is a first-rate work of a first-rate historian.”—James D. Tabor, Journal of Religion

“Fredriksen confronts her documents—basically the writings of the New Testament—as an archaeologist would an especially wealthy complex website online. With great care she distinguishes the literary images from historical fact. As she does so, she explains the images of Jesus in the case of the strategies and purposes of the writers Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.”—Thomas D’Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor
