Originally published in 1984, this extraordinary work has until now
been available only in an expensive library edition. The present
edition has been completely updated and redesigned, and includes an
extended new introduction by Marcus Borg that relates the book's
central arguments to subsequent Jesus scholarship. A foreword by
N.T. Wright characterizes the book as one of the foundational works
in the ""third quest"" for the historical Jesus. In the book,
Marcus Borg argues that conflict between a politics of holiness and
a politics of compassion, and their implications for Israel,
resides at the center of Jesus' activity and teaching. He
emphasizes several features that have since become central to Jesus
scholarship: the importance of Jesus' inclusive meal practice, a
non-apocalyptic paradigm for understanding Jesus, and Jesus as a
social prophet and boundary-breaker. Marcus J. Borg is Hundere
Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture in the Philosophy
Department at Oregon State University. He is the author of nine
books, including Jesus in Contemporary Scholarship, also published
by Trinity Press.
