A trust in the goodness of creation,
By Richeire (Beautiful isle of Eire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus, a Jewish Galilean: A New Reading of the Jesus Story (Paperback)
This work I found extremely interesting. In particular I enjoyed chapter two - Jesus and the Ecology of Galilee: Ecological Factors and Human Culture.
I found the use made of Halovr Monxes' discussion of place as a contested space very insightful. The work reveals Dr. Freyne's great understanding of Jesus in the context of Galilee. It opened up for me such questions as why Jesus was attracted to the villages of Caesarea Philippi and to Mt Hermon: to the wellspring of the Great River. The following line from page 149 touched me in a special way: "His (Jesus) was a faith that was grounded in a trust in the goodness of creation as he had experienced it and reflected on its mysterious but hidden processes." May the ebbs and flows of the scholarly quest for the historical Jesus be empowered by this fine work. |
