The debate over the extent of Jewish influence upon early
Christianity rages on. At the heart of this argument lies the
question of Jesus: how does the fate of a first-century Galilean
Jew inspire and determine the nature, shape, and practices of a
distinct religious movement? Vital to this first question is
another equally challenging one: can the four Gospels be used to
reconstruct the historical Jesus? In this work, Martin Hengel and
Anna Maria Schwemer seek to untangle the complex relationships
among Jesus, Judaism, and the Gospels in the earliest Christian
movement. Jesus and Judaism, the first in a four-volume series,
focuses on the person of Jesus in the context of Judaism. Beginning
with his Galilean origin, the volume analyzes Jesus' relationship
with John the Baptist and the Jewish context of Jesus' life and
work. The authors argue that there never was a nonmessianic Jesus.
Rather, his messianic claim finds expression in his relationship to
the Baptist, his preaching in authority, his deeds of power, and
his crucifixion as king of the Jews, and in the emergence of the
earliest Christology. As Martin Hengel and Anna Maria Schwemer
reveal, Jesus was not only a devout Jew, nor merely a miracle
worker, but the essential part of the earliest form of
Christianity. The authors insist that Jesus belongs within the
history of early Christianity, rather than as its presupposition.
Christianity did not begin after Jesus' death; Christianity began
as soon as a Jew from Galilee started to preach the word of God.
