Jesus: An Historical and Theological Introduction (Understanding The Bible And Its World) [Paperback]

Jonathan Knight (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0826469817 | ISBN-13: 978-0826469816 | Publication Date: June 8, 2004

Jonathan Knight takes a radically apocalyptic view of Jesus, arguing that he journeyed to Jerusalem with resolute eschatological purpose and endowed his circle of friends with the same secrecy that befits an apocalyptic movement. The book begins by considering the substantial twentieth-century debate about Jesus and moves from there to fit the words and works of Jesus in context.
