Jesus and His Contemporaries - Comparative Studies (Hardcover)

The first part of this book attempts to situate Jesus in his historical and cultural context through comparisons with the prayers, parables, prophecies and miracles attributed to various Jewish figures of Palestine who were Jesus's near contemporaries. It is concluded that Jesus's teachings and activities do not represent a radical break with the piety and restorative hopes of many of his contemporaries. This conclusion conflicts with some of the recent Jesus research, especially emanating from the Jesus Seminar, which tends to view Jesus as a Stoic or a Cynic philosopher with little interest in the restoration of Israel and the fulfilment of prophecy. The second part of the text explores the aims of Jesus and the factors that led to Jesus's death.
