The first full-length study to trace how early Christians came to
perceive Jesus as a sinless human being. Jeffrey S. Siker presents
a taxonomy of sin in early Judaism and examines moments in Jesus'
life associated with sinfulness: his birth to the unwed Mary, his
baptism by John the Baptist, his public ministry - transgressing
boundaries of family, friends, and faith - and his cursed death by
crucifixion. Although followers viewed his immediate death in
tragic terms, with no expectation of his resurrection, they soon
began to believe that God had raised him from the dead. Their
resurrection faith produced a new understanding of Jesus' prophetic
ministry, in which his death had been a perfect sacrificial death
for sin, his ministry perfectly obedient, his baptism a
demonstration of perfect righteousness, and his birth a perfect
virgin birth. This study explores the implications of a
retrospective faith that elevated Jesus to perfect divinity,
redefining sin.
