A New Vision for Israel: The Teachings of Jesus in National Context

By Scot McKnight

Book Overview

The most important development in historical Jesus studies is the recent attempt to understand Jesus as a national prophet concerned with the salvation of Israel. A New Vision for Israel furthers this line of inquiry by showing how Jesus' teachings are to be understood in relation to his role as a political figure. Scot McKnight looks closely at Jesus' teachings on God, the kingdom, and ethics, demonstrating in each case how Jesus' mission to restore Israel brings these teachings into a bold new light.
