Jesus the Jew

See all formats and editions

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.
