The Beloved Son as Tantalizing Teacher

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In his study, Carl Roemer explores in detail the social, political, economic, and religious contexts surrounding Jesus of Nazareth. Roemer’s main focus is clearly the person and meaning of Jesus himself. While some of Roemer’s words may take the reader by surprise . . . , his statements continually invite the reader to go deeper, not only into the message of Jesus, but into the very person of Jesus—the ‘Beloved Son,’ the one who not only embodied God’s kingdom but also amazingly invites the contemporary reader into that same gracious rule. I gratefully recommend his book.”
