Overview

The result of this research by Christian scholars fluent in Hebrew and living in the land of Israel confirms that Jesus was an organic part of the diverse social and religious landscape of Second Temple-period Judaism. He, like other Jewish sages of his time, used specialized methods to teach foundational Jewish theological concepts. Jesus' teaching was revolutionary in a number of ways, particularly in three areas: his radical interpretation of the biblical commandment of mutual love; his call for a new morality; and his idea of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Reviews

This fascinating collection of essays demonstrates the fruitfulness of 'collaboration between Jewish and Christian members' of the School as they continue to study the Synoptic Gospels together. Robert L. Webb, McMaster University, Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus There is little doubt that, like the bird cage in Alexandria, this devoted beit knesset of properly equipped scholars has produced a perceptive set of essays, and it will be interesting to see the further insights that future volumes in this series will almost certainly produce. Nina Collins, Leeds University, Novum Testamentum
