Title
The Historical Jesus: The Life of a Mediterranean Jewish Peasant by John Dominic Crossan-Paperback – February 26, 1993.
"The Historical Jesus: The Life of a Mediterranean Jewish Peasant" by John Dominic Crossan is a seminal work in the field of historical Jesus studies. John Dominic Crossan, a prominent New Testament scholar and co-founder of the Jesus Seminar, presents a scholarly exploration of Jesus of Nazareth within the social, cultural, and religious context of first-century Judaism in the Mediterranean region.
In the book, Crossan examines the life of Jesus through a historical-critical lens, drawing upon archaeological evidence, literary analysis of the Gospels, and insights from social anthropology. He argues that Jesus should be understood primarily as a Jewish peasant who lived and preached in Galilee, challenging traditional interpretations that emphasize his divine nature or supernatural aspects.
Crossan portrays Jesus as a charismatic teacher and social prophet who advocated for a radical vision of the Kingdom of God that emphasized justice, compassion, and inclusivity. He explores Jesus' teachings, parables, and actions within the socio-economic and political realities of Roman-occupied Palestine, highlighting how Jesus' message resonated with the marginalized and oppressed in society.
The book also addresses key events in Jesus' life, such as his baptism, ministry, crucifixion, and the development of early Christian communities. Crossan proposes that understanding Jesus as a Mediterranean Jewish peasant provides a more historically plausible perspective than interpretations that emphasize miraculous elements or theological doctrines.
"The Historical Jesus" is known for its rigorous scholarship, engaging writing style, and provocative interpretations. It has been influential in shaping contemporary debates about the historical Jesus and has sparked discussions about the nature of Christian origins and the relevance of Jesus' teachings for contemporary ethical and social issues.
