About this title
Offering a unique introduction to the historical person Jesus of Nazareth, respected New Testament scholar William Herzog traces the history of discussion and scholarship of the historical Jesus, including that of the recent and very public Jesus Seminar. He does so, however, with an eye toward the theological. No other introduction is tied so closely to the biblical texts. By exploring in depth Jesus' words--the parables--and Jesus' deeds--miracles, Herzog presents a holistic picture of Jesus that will explain how Jesus' followers would have understood his miracles and his role as prophet. With its accessibility and clear connections to what the gospels are saying, Prophet and Teacher will appeal to general readers with little theological background and be a popular primary text in undergraduate and seminary classes.
"In engaging prose, Herzog explores the figure of Jesus as prophet, teacher and rabbi, traditional healer, and as a 'reputational leader' who brokers of the reign of God. Using insights from the social sciences, Herzog focuses on the social, economic and political dimensions of Jesus' teaching and activity. He places special emphasis upon Jesus' approach to Torah and the Temple. This book is a `must read.'" —Alicia Batten, Pacific Lutheran University
