Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Examining Jesus' radical departure from contemporary Jewish customs, the book delves into the nature of discipleship through historical analysis. Professor Hengel contrasts Jesus with various discipleship models, including Cynic, Rabbinic, and Zealot traditions, ultimately positioning Jesus closer to the Maccabean-Zealot leaders. His call for total commitment and unique authority over the Law highlight his distinctive role. Hengel's extensive knowledge of first-century Jewish and Hellenistic contexts provides profound insights into Jesus' ministry and his unparalleled invitation to discipleship.
