In this book, Michael Patrick Barber examines the role of the
Jerusalem temple in the teaching of the historical Jesus. Drawing
on recent discussions about methodology and memory research in
Jesus studies, he advances a fresh approach to reconstructing
Jesus' teaching. Barber argues that Jesus did not reject the
temple's validity but that he likely participated in and endorsed
its rites. Moreover, he locates Jesus' teaching within Jewish
apocalyptic eschatology, showing that Jesus' message about the
coming kingdom and his disciples' place in it likely involved
important temple and priestly traditions that have been ignored by
the quest. Barber also highlights new developments in scholarship
on the Gospel of Matthew to show that its Jewish perspective offers
valuable but overlooked clues about the kinds of concerns that
would have likely shaped Jesus' outlook. A bold approach to a key
topic in biblical studies, Barber's book is a pioneering
contribution to Jesus scholarship.
