The Gospels record that Jesus purported to forgive sins. What
significance would such a claim have had for his contemporaries and
what would the implications have been for his identity as a
first-century popular prophet? Tobias Hagerland answers these
questions and more as he investigates the forgiveness of sins in
the mission of the historical Jesus. The Gospels are interpreted
within the context of first-century Judaism as part of a broader
reconstruction of Jesus' career as a healer and prophet, and
rhetorical criticism is introduced as a tool for explaining how the
gospel tradition about Jesus and forgiveness developed. Hagerland
combines detailed exegesis and rigorous methodology with a holistic
view of the historical Jesus, evaluating recent scholarship about
first-century Jewish prophets and utilizing previously neglected
textual evidence to present a thorough investigation of the
theology of forgiveness in early Judaism and primitive
Christianity."
