David Flusser Boeken

Flusser's monumental biographical study of the life of Jesus is the fruit of a life-time of personal research. His philological-historical approach, which applies findings from the Dead Sea Scrolls, historical inquiry, and recent archaeological discoveries, calls for a reconsideration of how we read the literary sources. What results is a compelling portrait of Jesus that gains additional depth because it is viewed within the context of Jewish thought and life in the first century. Both Jewish and Christian readers will be challenged by Flusser's work.

This revised edition presents a fresh biographical portrait of Jesus, rooted in Jewish faith and life during his time. Drawing on ancient literary sources and modern archaeological findings, it reflects David Flusser's extensive scholarship, updated by R. Steven Notley. The book includes a chronological table spanning from 330 BC to AD 70 and features twenty-eight illustrations. It serves as a significant resource for both Jewish and Christian readers, offering new insights into early Christianity and Judaism.

The book explores the contrasting faiths of Abraham and St. Paul, delving into the potential for reconciliation between these two significant figures. Through a sincere and respectful lens, it presents a Jewish perspective on Christ, highlighting the unique and transformative nature of His message for both Jews and Gentiles. Buber's examination invites readers to reflect on the complexities of faith and interfaith dialogue.

The book features a translation by Azzan Yadin, highlighting the nuances and depth of the original work. It offers readers an accessible version while retaining the essence of the source material. The translation aims to bridge cultural gaps and provide insights into the themes and characters, allowing a wider audience to engage with the narrative. Yadin's expertise ensures that the subtleties of language and context are preserved, enriching the reading experience for both new and familiar audiences.
