This book is the second volume in John Meiers masterful trilogy on the life of Jesus. In it he continues his quest for the answer to the greatest puzzle of modern religious scholarship: Who was Jesus? To answer this Meier imagines the following scenario: Suppose that a Catholic, a Protestant, a Jew, and an agnostic were locked up in the bowels of the Harvard Divinity School library... and not allowed to emerge until they had hammered out a consensus document on who Jesus of Nazareth was and what he intended.... A Marginal Jew is what Meier thinks that document would reveal. Volume one concluded with Jesus approaching adulthood. Now, in this volume, Meier focuses on the Jesus of our memory and the development of his ministry. To begin, Meier identifies Jesuss mentor, the one person who had the greatest single influence on him, John the Baptist. All of the Baptists fiery talk about the end of time had a powerful effect on the young Jesus and the formulation of his key symbol of the coming of the kingdom of God. And, finally, we are given a full investigation of one of the most striking manifestations of Jesuss message: Jesuss practice of exorcisms, hearings, and other miracles. In all, Meier brings to life the story of a man, Jesus, who by his life and teaching gradually made himself marginal even to the marginal society that was first century Palestine.

I appreciate the scholarly approach to Jesus' miracles, but sometimes the writing felt a bit heavy. Not the easiest read if you're just looking for a light overview. Still, I learned a lot and it's a solid reference for deeper study.

Got it damaged, not happy
The book arrived with a damaged cover, which was disappointing considering it's a reference work I wanted to keep in good condition. The content seems interesting, but I was put off by the delivery issue. I'll just have to return it.

A Deep Dive into Jesus' Miracles
This volume delivers a fascinating perspective on Jesus' life and teachings. The way it rethinks the historical context really added depth to my understanding. Perfect for anyone interested in biblical studies or theology. I found myself highlighting so many passages!
