A study of the Pharisees, in particular as they appear in the New
Testament and in relation to Jesus. The main part of the book
brings together the most important Greek and Semitic source
material in translation. This facilitates reference, and it makes
possible group and seminar discussion of documents which have
hitherto been difficult to study in English. As in his book The
Targums and Rabbinic Literature Mr Bowker makes available and
accessible to students material which tends to be removed from them
by language and technicality. In his introduction he explains the
many problems and uncertainties which surround this apparently
well-known but actually little-understood group. He shows that they
were far from constituting a static, uniform sect, and that they
had an important history of their own. He finally suggests an
approach to understanding Jesus' relations with them, which in turn
suggests an understanding of Jesus' conception of his own relation
to God, and also of his 'trial'.
