Download or read book Jesus the Jew written by Géza Vermès and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This now classic book is a significant corrective to several recent developments in the study of the historical Jesus. In contrast to depictions of Jesus as a wandering Cynic teacher, Geza Vermes offers a portrait based on evidence of charismatic activity in first-century Galilee. Vermes shows how the major New Testament titles of Jesus-prophet, Lord, Messiah, son of man, Son of God-can be understood in this historical context. The result is a description of Jesus that retains its power and its credibility.
