The sage from Galilee

by David Flusser

"This new edition of David Flusser's classic study of the historical Jesus, revised and updated by his student and colleague R. Steven Notley, will be welcomed everywhere by students and scholars of early Christianity and Judaism. Reflecting Flusser's mastery of ancient literary sources and modern archaeological discoveries, The Sage from Galilee offers a fresh biographical portrait of Jesus in the context of Jewish faith and life in his day." "Including a chronological table (330 B.C.-A.D. 70) and twenty-eight illustrations, The Sage from Galilee is the culmination of nearly six decades of study by one of the world's foremost Jewish authorities on the New Testament and early Christianity). Both Jewish and Christian readers will find challenge and new understanding in these pages."--BOOK JACKET.
