Book excerpt: In this, Geza Vermes' best known book, there emerges perhaps the closest portrayal that we have of a genuinely historical Jesus. Freed from the weight and onus of Christian doctrine or Jewish animus, Jesus here appears as a vividly human, yet profoundly misunderstood, figure, thoroughly grounded and contextualised within the extraordinary intellectual and cultural cross currents of his day. Jesus the Jew is a remarkable portrait by a brilliant scholar writing at the height of his powers, informed by insights from the New Testament, Jewish literature, and the Dead Sea Scrolls alike.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jesus, the Divine Messiah: An Address to JewsThat he was to be a man, is evident from the primeval promise in Eden, where he is described as the seed of the woman, as also from the assurances elsewhere recorded, that he should be the offspring of Abraham, and the son of David. But this point is admitted by the Jews. And need not be fauber insisted upon. Their Scriptures, however, speak with much distinctness of a higher nature. He was to be the Son of God in a sense which supposes equality and indeed oneness with God. The names and the attributes of humanity are ascribed to him, and we know him to be a man. In like manner are we taught his Divinity, by the ascription to him of the names and attributes, the works and glory which are peculiar to God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trial of Jesus: From Jewish Sources Many of my readers are doubtless familiar with the fact that there are traditions current in Jewish history concerning the life and death of Jesus which differ somewhat from those handed down by the Christian Church. What will probably surprise them is the statement that, though these traditions do differ from the nar ratives of the New Testament, they do not in the least oppose or contradict, but, on the contrary, rather confirm and corroborate the accounts of the Apostles. In many cases these traditions throw new light on the events; show the true na ture and the undisclosed plans of the principal men of those days. They reveal to us the true character of those who played an important part in the great drama enacted at Jerusalem nineteen hundred years ago. They raise the curtain of obscurity from the stage of those days, and pre sent to our gaze adistinct and clear picture of the happenings at that epoch-making period. These Jewish traditions rather supplement the account of the Bible, and, if placed side by side with the gospel account, would give a new interpretation to those great events. The two explain each other, the one supplying what was omitted by the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Jesus the Jew written by Géza Vermès and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This now classic book is a significant corrective to several recent developments in the study of the historical Jesus. In contrast to depictions of Jesus as a wandering Cynic teacher, Geza Vermes offers a portrait based on evidence of charismatic activity in first-century Galilee. Vermes shows how the major New Testament titles of Jesus-prophet, Lord, Messiah, son of man, Son of God-can be understood in this historical context. The result is a description of Jesus that retains its power and its credibility.
Book Synopsis Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews by : Paula Fredriksen
Download or read book Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews written by Paula Fredriksen and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paula Fredriksen, renowned historian and author of From Christ to Jesus, begins this inquiry into the historic Jesus with a fact that may be the only undisputed thing we know about him: his crucifixion. Rome reserved this means of execution particularly for political insurrectionists; and the Roman charge posted at the head of the cross indicted Jesus for claiming to be King of the Jews. To reconstruct the Jesus who provoked this punishment, Fredriksen takes us into the religious worlds, Jewish and pagan, of Mediterranean antiquity, through the labyrinth of Galilean and Judean politics, and on into the ancient narratives of Paul's letters, the gospels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Josephus' histories. The result is a profound contribution both to our understanding of the social and religious contexts within which Jesus of Nazareth moved, and to our appreciation of the mission and message that ended in the proclamation of Jesus as Messiah.
Download or read book The Jewish Jesus written by Zev Garber and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a general understanding within religious and academic circles that the incarnate Christ of Christian belief lived and died a faithful Jew. This volume addresses Jesus in the context of Judaism. By emphasizing his Jewishness, the authors challenge today’s Jews to reclaim the Nazarene as a proto-rebel rabbi and invite Christians to discover or rediscover the Church’s Jewish heritage. The essays in this volume cover historical, literary, liturgical, philosophical, religious, theological, and contemporary issues related to the Jewish Jesus. Several of them were originally presented at a three-day symposium on “Jesus in the Context of Judaism and the Challenge to the Church,” hosted by the Samuel Rosenthal Center for Judaic Studies at Case Western Reserve University in 2009. In the context of pluralism, in the temper of growing interreligious dialogue, and in the spirit of reconciliation, encountering Jesus as living history for Christians and Jews is both necessary and proper. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of the New Testament and Early Church who are seeking new ways of understanding Jesus in his religious and cultural milieu, as well Jewish and Christian theologians and thinkers who are concerned with contemporary Jewish and Christian relationships.

Book Synopsis Did Jesus Exist? by : Bart D. Ehrman
Download or read book Did Jesus Exist? written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Did Jesus Exist? historian and Bible expert Bart Ehrman confronts the question, "Did Jesus exist at all?" Ehrman vigorously defends the historical Jesus, identifies the most historically reliable sources for best understanding Jesus’ mission and message, and offers a compelling portrait of the person at the heart of the Christian tradition. Known as a master explainer with deep knowledge of the field, Bart Ehrman methodically demolishes both the scholarly and popular “mythicist” arguments against the existence of Jesus. Marshaling evidence from within the Bible and the wider historical record of the ancient world, Ehrman tackles the key issues that surround the mythologies associated with Jesus and the early Christian movement. In Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth, Ehrman establishes the criterion for any genuine historical investigation and provides a robust defense of the methods required to discover the Jesus of history.

Download or read book JESUS written by Rabbi David Zaslow and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold, fresh look at the historical Jesus and the Jewish roots of Christianity challenges both Jews and Christians to re-examine their understanding of Jesus’ commitment to his Jewish faith. Instead of emphasizing the differences between the two religions, this groundbreaking text explains how the concepts of vicarious atonement, mediation, incarnation, and Trinity are actually rooted in classical Judaism. Using the cutting edge of scholarly research, Rabbi Zaslow dispels the myths of disparity between Christianity and Judaism without diluting the unique features of each faith. Jesus: First Century Rabbi is a breath of fresh air for Christians and Jews who want to strengthen and deepen their own faith traditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Jesus: A Review of His Life, Character, and Death, From a Jewish Standpoint, Addressed to Members of the Theistic Church In submitting the following work to your kind consideration and friendly criticism, it may be well to report myself briefly, or let you know what I am doing here, and neglecting to do for the advancement of the religious reformation which we have so much at heart. During the eleven years that I have been perched on this hill overlooking the ancient city which witnessed the introduction of monk-worship by St. Augustine, I have endeavoured to instruct in a humble way, and to a very limited extent, two classes of people - the Christian population of the country, and those who, like ourselves and the Jews, are compelled by conscience to stand outside the pale of Christianity.

Book Synopsis Jewish Artisan Life in the Time of Jesus by : Franz Delitzsch
Download or read book Jewish Artisan Life in the Time of Jesus written by Franz Delitzsch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jewish Artisan Life in the Time of Jesus: According to the Oldest Sources It is a circle of young mechanics whom I address, and I may well take it for granted, that there is none of you who does not daily bow his knee in the name of Jesus. For this very reason I could apprehend that the choice of my theme might not only atter an unentitled pride of the mechanic, but also wound your Christian conscious ness. But I do not apprehend this. You well know that the same Jesus whom we adore is the exalted One. In that glory, which is the reward of his self-humilia tion, he is exalted infinitely above all the earthly relations which he entered, and through which he passed. If we consider the state of his self-humiliation apart from his exaltation, only a false awe, an undue delicacy, could prevent us from making the statement of the Nazarenes both the starting-point and end of our attempt in con sidering the relation of Jesus to handicraft in connection with the history of his times.

Book Synopsis Jesus the Central Jew by : André LaCocque
Download or read book Jesus the Central Jew written by André LaCocque and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a Jew marginally, but centrally In this book, LaCocque presents the case that Jesus was totally and unquestionably a Jew. He lived as a Jew, thought as a Jew, debated as a Jew, acted as a Jew and died as a Jew. He had no intention of creating a new religion; rather, he was a reformer of the Judaism of his day. True, his critique went far beyond an intellectual subversion. In fact, Jesus progressively thought of himself as the “Son of Man” inaugurating the advent of the Kingdom of God on earth. Features: Focused attention given to the historical Jesus and not Christianity or Christology Addresses restricted sources, namely, the Synoptic Gospels Close examination of Jesus’s way of thinking, teaching, and behaving

Book Synopsis Brother Jesus by : Schalom Ben-Chorin
Download or read book Brother Jesus written by Schalom Ben-Chorin and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of American history know of the law's critical role in systematizing a racial hierarchy in the United States. Showing that this history is best appreciated in a comparative perspective, The Long, Lingering Shadow looks at the parallel legal histories of race relations in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America. Robert J. Cottrol takes the reader on a journey from the origins of New World slavery in colonial Latin America to current debates and litigation over affirmative action in Brazil and the United States, as well as contemporary struggles against racial discrimination and Afro-Latin invisibility in the Spanish-speaking nations of the hemisphere. Ranging across such topics as slavery, emancipation, scientific racism, immigration policies, racial classifications, and legal processes, Cottrol unravels a complex odyssey. By the eve of the Civil War, the U.S. slave system was rooted in a legal and cultural foundation of racial exclusion unmatched in the Western Hemisphere. That system's legacy was later echoed in Jim Crow, the practice of legally mandated segregation. Jim Crow in turn caused leading Latin Americans to regard their nations as models of racial equality because their laws did not mandate racial discrimination-- a belief that masked very real patterns of racism throughout the Americas. And yet, Cottrol says, if the United States has had a history of more-rigid racial exclusion, since the Second World War it has also had a more thorough civil rights revolution, with significant legal victories over racial discrimination. Cottrol explores this remarkable transformation and shows how it is now inspiring civil rights activists throughout the Americas.
