What significance would such a claim have had for his contemporaries and what would the implications have been for his identity as a first-century popular prophet? Tobias Ha;gerland answers these questions and more as he investigates the forgiveness of sins in the mission of the historical Jesus. The Gospels are interpreted within the context of first-century Judaism as part of a broader reconstruction of Jesus' career as a healer and prophet, and rhetorical criticism is introduced as a tool for explaining how the gospel tradition about Jesus and forgiveness developed. Ha;gerland combines detailed exegesis and rigorous methodology with a holistic view of the historical Jesus, evaluating recent scholarship about first-century Jewish prophets and utilizing previously neglected textual evidence to present a thorough investigation of the theology of forgiveness in early Judaism and primitive Christianity"--Provided by publisher OP - 304 CN - BT265.3 .H34 2012eb SN - 9781139190879 SN - 1139190873 SN - 1139185977 SN - 9781139185974 SN - 9781139017671 SN - 1139017675 SN - 9781139188272 SN - 1139188275 SN - 1283384078 SN - 9781283384070 SN - 9781107008366 SN - 1107008360 KW - Jesus Christ : Person and offices.
