The Wisdom of Jesus

Viac o knihe

Exploring the historical context of Jesus's sayings, this study attempts to present his voice directly, stripped of theological interpretations. It highlights the challenges historians face in distinguishing authentic words from later interpretations. The portrayal that emerges depicts Jesus as a complex, lower-class figure of the first century, whose teachings resonate with secular concerns and everyday life rather than traditional religious themes. By focusing on these sayings, the book invites readers to reconsider the wisdom of Jesus in relation to ancient Israel's sages and early church apostles.
