Description
In dieser Untersuchung der Motive und Argumente in den halachischen Konflikten Jesu nutzt Thomas Kazen die Ergebnisse der neueren Forschung zur Entwicklung der Halacha während der Zeit des Zweiten Tempels, die Spannungsfelder innerhalb der und zwischen den verschiedenen jüdischen Bewegungen skizziert. Er analysiert die synoptischen Konflikterzählungen zur Sabbatobservanz, Reinheit und Scheidung. Kazen trennt theologische Motive von plausiblen historischen Erklärungen und schlägt relative Daten und Kontexte für Motive vor, die oft Jesus zugeschrieben werden. Er stellt Deutungen infrage, die die einzigartige, individuelle Autorität Jesu betonen, und behauptet, dass die Haltung Jesu sich besser aus der prophetischen Kritik und einem traditionellen israelitischen Verständnis der Toraerklären lässt. Mit diesem Bandträgt der Autor einerseits viel zum Verständnis der halachischen Entwicklung zur Zeit des Zweiten Tempels bei, anderseits fördert er unser Verständnis des historischen Jesus und seiner Beziehung zu zeitgenössischen Bewegungen.
