In his latest book, Sean Freyne draws on his detailed knowledge of
Galilean society in the Roman period, based on both literary and
archaeological sources, to give a fresh and provocative reading of
the Jesus story within its Galilean setting. Jesus, a Jewish
Galilean focuses on the religious as well as the social and
political environment and examines the ways in which the Jewish
religious experience had expressed itself in Galilee. It considers
the ways in which the Jewish tradition in both the Pentateuch and
the Prophets had constructed notions of an ideal Galilee. These
provided the raw material for Jesus' own response to the issues of
the day, from which he fashioned his own distinctive views of
Israel's restoration and his own role in that project. Although
Freyne is in touch with all recent scholarship about the historical
Jesus, he brings his own distinctive take on the issues both with
regard to Galilean society and Jesus' grounding in his own
religious tradition. His Jesus is both Jewish and yet distinctive
in his concerns and the ways in which he responds to the
ecological, social and religious issues of his own time and place.
Freyne seeks to retrieve the theological importance of Jesus' own
message, something that has been lost sight of in the trend to
present him primarily as a social reformer, while acknowledging the
dangers of modernizing Jesus.
