In order to interpret historical writings, the reader must not
employ their modern understanding of the world, but must strive to
grasp the mindset of the original audience. To assist the
twentieth-century New Testament reader in understanding the literal
meaning of the New Testament is the goal of this collection of
essays. The Social World of Jesus and the Gospels provides the
reader with a set of possible scenarios for reading the New
Testament: How did first-century persons think about themselves and
others? Did they think Jesus was a charismatic leader? Why did they
call God 'father'? Were they concerned with their gender
roles?
The eight essays in this collection were previously published in
books and journals generally not available to many readers.
Carefully selected and edited, this collection will be both an
introduction and an invaluable source of reference to Bruce
Malina's thought.
