Inhaltsangabe:

How did Jesus of Nazareth become the Christ of the Christian tradition?
 
“Magisterial. . . . A learned, brilliant and enjoyable study.”—Géza Vermès, Times Literary Supplement
 
“Brilliant and lucidly written, full of original and fascinating insights.”—Reginald H. Fuller, Journal of the American Academy of Religion
 
“This is a first-rate work of a first-rate historian.”—James D. Tabor, Journal of Religion
 
In this exciting book, Paula Fredriksen explains the variety of New Testament images of Jesus by exploring the ways that the new Christian communities interpreted his mission and message in light of the delay of the Kingdom he had preached. Carefully examining the New Testament texts, she provides fascinating insights into such issues as the social and religious problems facing early Christian communities, the content of Jesus’ ministry, and the circumstances of his crucifixion. This edition includes an introduction that reviews more recent scholarship on Jesus and its implications for both history and theology.
