From the Back Cover:
"At last a book on Jesus that lets him be a Jew of antiquity, however politically incorrect he may seem to modern eyes. Allison's book is like a breath of fresh air in the current Jesus debate. The updated defense of Schweitzer's apocalyptic prophet is entirely convincing." ---John J. Collins University of Chicago
About the Author:
"Finally, a book that trumpets the return of the apocalyptic Jesus! Allison mounts a powerful counterattack against those who have spurned the view . . . that Jesus expected an imminent transformation in history as we know it. . . . Allison has produced a persuasive argument that will not be easily overturned and must not be ignored." ---Bart D. Ehrman University of North Carolina
"This wonderfully incisive contribution to the current Jesus debate carries its scholarship gracefully and lightly. Much more than just a put-down of portrayals of Jesus as a sapiential teacher, it is a full-scale presentation of Jesus as a millenarian prophet with an ascetic cast. . . . Original, vastly readable, and powerfully persuasive, it is not to be missed." ---John K. Riches University of Glasgow, Scotland
Dale C. Allison Jr. is Associate Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Allison's recent contribution to critical historical Jesus studies rehabilitates the eschatological picture of Jesus, proposed most prominently by Albert Schweitzer in his epochal Quest for the Historical Jesus. Make no mistake: this is not an evangelical apologetic in the garb of critical scholarship, and those who radically question the presuppositions and purposes of critical scholarship will probably not be edified. But Allison does examine in detail the methodology and conclusions of the Jesus Seminar, and finds them wanting. An important contribution, and a corrective to the sensationalist tone of much of the recent debate. Seller Inventory # 20070827120362
