Did Jesus see himself as divine? Since the beginning of the quest for the historical Jesus, scholars have dismissed the idea that Jesus could have identified himself as God. Such high Christology is frequently depicted as an invention of the councils of Nicaea and Chalcedon, centuries later. Yet recent research has shown that the earliest Jewish followers of Jesus already regarded him as divine. Brant Pitre tackles this paradox in his bold new monograph. Pitre challenges this widespread assumption and makes a robust case that Jesus did consider himself divine. Carefully explicating the Gospels in the context of Second Temple Judaism, Pitre shows how Jesus used riddles, questions, and scriptural allusions to reveal the apocalyptic secret of his divinity. Moreover, Pitre explains how Jesus acts as if he is divine in both the Synoptics and the Gospel of John. Carefully weighing the historical evidence, Pitre argues that the origins of early high Christology can be traced to the historical Jesus's words and actions. Jesus and Divine Christology sheds light on long-neglected yet key evidence that the historical Jesus saw himself as divine. Scholars and students of the New Testament--and anyone curious about the Jewish context of early Christianity--will find Pitre's argument a necessary and provocative corrective to a critically underexamined topic.

Życie i śmierć Chrystusa widziane w świetle Pisma Świętego i żydowskiej tradycji to najwspanialsza historia miłosna, jaką kiedykolwiek opowiedziano! Brant Pitre odkrywa przed czytelnikiem tajemnice najbardziej znanego symbolu wiary chrześcijańskiej, jakim jest krzyż Chrystusa. Pokazuje, że śmierć Jezusa nie była zwykłą egzekucją, ale czymś o wiele większym: spełnieniem starożytnych żydowskich proroctw o wiecznym przymierzu zawartym między Bogiem a ludzkością. Przez pryzmat tych zapowiedzi można rozpoznać w Chrystusie Oblubieńca, w obrazie Kościoła – Jego Oblubienicę, a ukrzyżowanie rozumieć jako moment zaślubin, w którym Oblubieniec wyrażał miłość do oblubienicy i wydawał za nią siebie samego. Najbardziej znane fragmenty Biblii – wyjście z Egiptu, wesele w Kanie Galilejskiej, spotkanie z Samarytanką przy studni, Ostatnia Wieczerzy, ukrzyżowanie, a także opis powtórnego przyjścia na końcu czasów – zostają przez autora odczytane na nowo i zyskują wyjątkową interpretację. Brant Pitre – profesor Pisma Świętego w Notre Dame Seminary w Nowym Orleanie, autor książek poświęconych Biblii i wierze, ceniony mówca. Poprzez swoje wykłady popularyzuje wiedzę na temat biblijnych korzeni chrześcijaństwa.

"A powerful exploration of the biblical foundations, contemplative practices, and spiritual path of Jesus himself-from the bestselling author of The Case for Jesus. The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the scriptural roots of vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation, and the three stages of spiritual growth (purgative, illuminative, unitive) that exist to bring them closer to God. In his most personal book yet, Dr. Brant Pitre draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery of the spiritual life"-- Provided by publisher

After the landmark work of E. P. Sanders, the task of rightly accounting for Paul's relationship to Judaism has dominated the last forty years of Pauline scholarship. Pitre, Barber, and Kincaid argue that Paul is best viewed as a new covenant Jew, a designation that allows the apostle to be fully Jewish, yet in a manner centered on the person and work of Jesus the Messiah. This new covenant Judaism provides the key that unlocks the door to many of the difficult aspects of Pauline theology. Paul, a New Covenant Jew is a rigorous, yet accessible overview of Pauline theology intended for ecumenical audiences. In particular, it aims to be the most useful and up to date text on Paul for Catholic Seminarians. The book engages the best recent scholarship on Paul from both Protestant and Catholic interpreters and serves as a launching point for ongoing Protestant-Catholic dialogue.

Brant Pitre is recognized for his engaging and thought-provoking theological writing. His work resonates with readers seeking deep insights into religious themes and spirituality. Pitre's ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible manner has earned him praise from notable figures, including Bishop Robert Barron, highlighting his significance in contemporary theological discourse.

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, "This is my body... This is my blood"? To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys--the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the Presence--have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. --Publisher description
