Most Jesus specialists agree that the Temple incident led directly
to Jesus' arrest, but the precise relationship between Jesus and
the Temple's administration remains unclear. Jesus and the Temple
examines this relationship, exploring the reinterpretation of Torah
observance and traditional Temple practices that are widely
considered central components of the early Jesus movement.
Challenging a growing tendency in contemporary scholarship to
assume that the earliest Christians had an almost uniformly
positive view of the Temple's sacrificial system, Simon J. Joseph
addresses the ambiguous, inconsistent, and contradictory views on
sacrifice and the Temple in the New Testament. This volume fills a
significant gap in the literature on sacrifice in Jewish
Christianity. It introduces a new hypothesis positing Jesus'
enactment of a program of radically nonviolent eschatological
restoration, an orientation that produced Jesus' conflicts with his
contemporaries and inspired the first attributions of sacrificial
language to his death.
