This major new study advances our understanding of the historical
Jesus by exploring the model of Jesus the priest. As priest, Jesus
claims to reveal God's unchanging character through his own person;
as priest, too, he announces the impending eschatological climax,
constituted by the arrival of the heavenly temple on earth.
Focusing on critically assured sayings of Jesus, Perrin argues that
the two announcements (the kingdom and Jesus' priesthood) are
mutually confirming and mutually authenticating. The nature of the
kingdom is derived from his priestly office; his priestly office is
given shape and substance through teachings on the kingdom. Jesus
saw himself as the unique eschatological high priest and therefore
as the local embodiment of Yahweh. He announced the kingdom of God
as the space of true worship; he regarded his life as revealing
both the identity of God and the true worship of God.
