Jesus as Israel's Messiah

This volume looks at the work of N. Thomas Wright, the Bishop of Durham and a leading New Testament scholar. "Jesus as Israel's Prophet" is one of four volumes in which leading historical-Jesus scholars engage with, and build upon, the historical-Jesus contributions made by four key contributors to the field. Each volume will identify and evaluate the key contributions made by a significant historical-Jesus scholar who has had a tremendous impact on what has been termed 'the third quest for the historical Jesus'. As well, the essays by their fellow historical-Jesus scholars will demonstrate the person's influence with contributions to the discipline that build upon the scholar's key contributions. Furthermore, the entire project is intended to be a dialogue, for the person will be given an opportunity to respond to the essays of his fellow scholars. Formerly the "Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement", a book series that explores the many aspects of New Testament study including historical perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural and contextual approaches.
"The Early Christianity in Context" series, a part of JSNTS, examines the birth and development of early Christianity up to the end of the third century CE.
