| Summary |
"In this book William Herzog bridges the gap between purely historical and theological interpretations of the life of Jesus with a compelling synthesis of politics and theology, faith and history. Herzog portrays Jesus as a "prophet of the justice of the reign of God."" "By building on his view of Jesus first developed in Parables as Subversive Speech, Herzog argues that Jesus is intensely interested in the social, political, and economic well-being of humanity. While his earlier work concentrated on the sayings of Jesus, here Herzog focuses on the actions of Jesus, finding them every bit as subversive to his day and age."--BOOK JACKET. |
