This now classic book is a significant corrective to several recent developments in the study of the historical Jesus. In contrast to depictions of Jesus as a wandering Cynic teacher, Geza Vermes offers a portrait based on evidence of charismatic activity in firstcentury Galilee. Vermes shows how the major New Testament titles of Jesusprophet, Lord, Messiah, son of man, Son of Godcan be understood in this historical context. The result is a description of Jesus that retains its power and its credibility.
