About This Item
Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1994. 1st. Hardcover. Near fine with scholarly marks in pencil; bottom left of front dj slighty worn; in as new dust-jacket. Blue glossy illustrated dj in archival mylar sleeve; xi, 436 pages; 24 cm; bibliographical references (pages 389-409) and index. "Entering into the renewed and sometimes confusing attempts to comprehend the work of Jesus of Nazareth and his person, Ben Witherington guides the reader through a vast complex of ancient documents and contemporary questions. He shows that Jesus' contemporaries viewed Jesus as a Jewish prophetic sage whose teaching and style were a reflection of the convergence of Hebrew wisdom and prophetic forms and ideas. Witherington traces the path of wisdom from its earliest manifestations in the Hebrew Bible to its importance in the work of Jesus and then to its apparent influence on the Christology of Paul and other New Testament writers. The result is a masterful contribution to scholarship, written with verve and clarity."- Publisher.
