Publisher's Description
The most important development in historical Jesus studies is the recent attempt to understand Jesus as a national prophet concerned with the salvation of Israel. A New Vision for Israel furthers this line of inquiry by showing how Jesus' teachings are to be understood in relation to his role as a political figure. Scot McKnight looks closely at Jesus' teachings on God, the kingdom, and ethics, demonstrating in each case how Jesus' mission to restore Israel brings these teachings into a bold new light.

“Writing with a careful eye to scholars and students alike, McKnight judiciously exposes how much of Jesus' teaching was directed to the nation of Israel in its role as God's holy people in the first-century Mediterranean world. Providing a lucid and comprehensive guide to recent scholarship on the subject, McKnight gives us one of the freshest and most compelling contributions to the continuing question, `Who really was this Jesus?' Bravo!”
