| Summary: | "Amid competing portrayals of the 'cynic Jesus, ' the 'peasant Jesus, ' and the 'apocalyptic Jesus, ' the 'political Jesus' remains a marginal figure. Douglas E. Oakman argues that advances in our social-scientific understanding of the political economy of Roman Galilee, as well as advances in the so-called 'Third Quest' for the historical Jesus, warrant a revival-and a critical revision-of H.S. Reimarus's understanding of Jesus as an instigator of revolutionary change."--Publisher description. |
