Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Named a Sejong Book of 2021, Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA)2020 Center for Biblical Studies Book Award (New Testament RunnerUp)"Utterly fresh and innovative, important both exegetically and ethically."Paula Fredriksen, Review of Biblical LiteratureAlthough most people acknowledge that Jesus was a firstcentury Jew, interpreters of the Gospels often present him as opposed to Jewish law and customsespecially when considering his numerous encounters with the ritually impure. Matthew Thiessen corrects this popular misconception by placing Jesus within the Judaism of his day. Thiessen demonstrates that the Gospel writers depict Jesus opposing ritual impurity itself, not the Jewish ritual purity system or the Jewish law. This fresh interpretation of significant passages from the Gospels shows that throughout his life, Jesus destroys forces of death and impurity while upholding the Jewish law.
