In this new English language translation of Den okande Jesus (The Unknown Jesus), Cecilia Wassen and Tobias Hagerland consider Jesus as an apocalyptic prophetic figure within the context of first-century Judaism and reconstruct the life of Jesus from his birth to his death, with a focus on understanding him in the context of his own time and place. Engaging critically with the sources, they examine Jesus' life in order of events and draw together the threads of scholarly discussion on the history, archaeology and geography of first-century Galilee, forming a complete picture of Jesus' world suitable for non-specialists and university students. Wassen and Hagerland provide a strictly historical reconstruction, distinguishing between the rhetorical aims of the New Testament texts and the information about the past that these texts contain. They enhance the texts surrounding Jesus in the context of first-century Galilee with historical and archaeological reflections and discussion, including penetrating insights from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Illustrated throughout with photographs taken by the authors specifically to offer insights into the world of Jesus and the New Testament writings, Jesus the Apocalyptic Prophet provides a deeply informed introduction to Jesus in his first-century context.
Ranging across a wide swathe of ancient texts and modern interpretive problems; lighting the way with wonderful photographs, tables and graphics; considering various methods and reconstructing ancient contexts: Wassen and Hagerland expertly lead the reader-whether student or scholar-over the rough terrain of contemporary New Testament scholarship on Jesus and on the earliest movements that formed around his mission and message. You could not ask for better guides. * PAULA FREDRIKSEN, The Hebrew University, Israel *
