Jesus Becoming Jesus presents a theological interpretation of the
Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Unlike many conventional
biblical commentaries, Weinandy concentrates on the theological
content contained within the Synoptic Gospels. He does this in the
light of the Church's doctrinal and theological tradition,
particularly in keeping with the Second Vatican Council's Dogmatic
Constitution, Dei Verbum. Weinandy accomplishes this through a
close reading of the individual Gospels themselves as well as
observing their theological relationship to one another. His
interpretation of the Gospels also brings to the fore the
theological significance of God's revelation that is contained
within the Old Testament which, likewise, shows how theological
themes contained within Matthew, Mark, and Luke are found and
developed within the Gospel of John, the Pauline Corpus and other
New Testament writings. This original theological interpretation
focuses primarily on the events narrated with the Synoptic
Gospels-the conception and birth of John the Baptist and Jesus,
Jesus's baptism and temptations, his miracles, Peter's profession
of faith and Jesus' transfiguration, Jesus' triumphal entrance into
Jerusalem with the subsequent passion and resurrection narratives.
Within the theological examination of these salvific events, Jesus
teaching is likewise discussed, particularly concerning the
Beatitudes and his relationship to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
The overarching theme of this book, as the title suggests, is that
Jesus, being named Jesus, throughout his public ministry and
particularly in his passion, death, and resurrection, is enacting
his name and so becoming who he is-YHWH-Saves. Jesus Becoming Jesus
offers a singular, vibrant, and luminous reading of the Synoptic
Gospels; one that reveals the theological depth and doctrinal
sophistication contained within Matthew, Mark and Luke.
