In\u003ci\u003e Rabbi Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, the noted biblical scholar Bruce Chilton places Jesus within the context of his times to present a fresh, historically accurate, and revolutionary examination of the man who founded Christianity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on recent archaeological findings and new translations and interpretations of ancient texts, Chilton discusses in enlightening detail the philosophical and psychological foundations of Jesus' ideas and beliefs. His in-depth investigation also provides evidence that contradicts long-held beliefs about Jesus and the movement he led. Chilton shows, for example, that the High Priest Caiaphas, as well as Pontius Pilate, played a central role in Jesus' execution. It is, however, Chilton's description of Jesus' role as a rabbi, or \"master,\" of Jewish oral traditions, as a teacher of the Cabala, and as a practitioner of a Galilean form of Judaism that emphasized direct communication with God that casts an entirely new light on the origins of Christianity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeamlessly merging history and biography, this penetrating, highly readable book uncovers truths lost to the passage of time and reveals a new Jesus for the new millennium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Chilton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385497938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385497930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Image\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Bruce Chilton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995530461439,"sku":"9780385497930","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a347dd2b-8ee2-4d32-8ca3-9f339e987fcd.jpg?v=1683336337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rabbi-jesus-bruce-chilton-9780385497930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
