Steven Bryan presents a biblical framework for thinking about
various ideologies of cultural identity and cultivating diversity
as the positive good that God intended.
Jesus and Israel's Traditions of Judgement and Restoration examines
the eschatology of Jesus by evaluating his appropriation of sacred
traditions related to Israel's restoration. It addresses the way in
which Jesus' future expectations impinged upon his understanding of
key features of Jewish society. Scholars have long debated the
degree to which Jesus' eschatology can be said to have been
realized. This 2002 book considers Jesus' expectations regarding
key constitutional features of the eschaton: the shape of the
people of God, purity, Land and Temple. Bryan shows that Jesus'
anticipation of coming national judgement led him to use Israel's
sacred traditions in ways that differed significantly from their
use by his contemporaries. This did not lead Jesus to the
conviction that Israel's restoration had been delayed. Instead he
employed Israel's traditions to support a different understanding
of restoration and a belief that the time of restoration had
arrived.
This book examines the eschatology of Jesus by evaluating his appropriation of sacred traditions related to Israel's restoration and addresses the way in which Jesus' future expectations impinged upon his understanding of Jewish society. It breaks new ground by considering Jesus' expectations regarding key constitutional features of the eschaton--the shape of the people of God, purity, Land and Temple. Bryan demonstrates that Jesus' anticipation of coming national judgement led him to use Israel's sacred traditions in ways that differed significantly from their use by his contemporaries.
