How would our understanding of Jesus change if we abandoned our
preconceptions and focussed on his words alone? How would this
wisdom compare with that of ancient Israel and the early
first-century church? Such questions pose serious difficulties.
Everything in the early Christian gospels is either derived from
historical memory, or is borrowed, or invented, argues Charles W.
Hedrick. Of the many sayings attributed to Christ, historians can
only agree on a few as having been spoken by him - and those few
are far from certain. In The Wisdom of Jesus, Hedrick overcomes
these challenges, presenting a picture of Jesus as expressed
through his own words. The Jesus that emerges is a lower-class man
of the first century; a complex figure who cannot be considered
religious in a traditional sense. Liberated from theological
explanation and interpretation, his discourse is revealed as
belonging to the secular world, and his concerns to be those of
common life.
