ANNOTATION
In a responsibly provocative new portrayal of several old issues raised by the quest of the historical Jesus, the author of The Climax of the Covenant deals with such questions as: What was Jesus' message? How did Jesus see Hi mself in relation to other Jewish leaders and groups of his time? How does the work of Jesus relate to the rise of the church?
FROM THE PUBLISHER
N.T. Wright brilliantly surveys the field of Jesus scholarship in the twentieth-century, presenting Jesus firmly within the political and social setting of the first-century--as a Jewish apocalyptic prophet.
