Bird studies Jesus in light of archaeology, Judean history, and apocalypticism. He scrutinizes sayings of Jesus and stories about Jesus, challenging many scholarly paradigms to offer a portrait of Jesus that avoids both sensationalism and pious simplification. The result is a story of Jesus that puts him firmly in the world of ancient Galilee and Judea and explains how this man, crucified by the Romans, became the catalyst for a movement that would defy and then consume the Roman Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important contribution will appeal to scholars, students, and all readers looking for a fresh examination of the life of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA New Portrait of the Historical Jesus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhispers of Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned biblical scholar Michael Bird forges a path through the tangle of conspiracy theories, older hypotheses, and scholarly debates to propose a compelling idea: The historical Jesus was driven by the conviction that through his words and work, his mission and message, God was unveiling his kingship in a way that would rescue Israel and eventually restore the whole world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis careful and concise work covers a wide range of topics related to the historical Jesus and his context.
