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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The Crown Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography | Bruce Chilton | Paperback | 9780385497930 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks B 1779108","offer_id":49815022403736,"sku":"1779108","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81X0_ZYpAtL.jpg?v=1788542741","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/rabbi-jesus-an-intimate-biography","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
