Jesus and Judaism E.P. Sanders
Description From The Publisher: This work takes up two related questions with regard to Jesus: his intention and his relationship to his contemporaries in Judaism. These questions immediately lead to two others: the reason for his death (did his intention involve an opposition to Judaism which led to death?) and the motivating force behind the rise of Christianity (did the split between the Christian movement and Judaism originate in opposition during Jesus' lifetime?). Reviews "I would be surprised if Jesus and Judaism does not turn out to be the most significant book of the decade in its field." John Koeing, The New York Times Book Review "What Sanders offers is good history - clearly stated hypotheses, expressed presuppositions, critically considered evidence, prudent and plausible conclusions. . . Jesus and Judaism is a milestone study." Paula Fredrickson, The New York Republic
