Jesus and the Hope of the Poor

Více o knize

The authors emphasize that understanding Jesus requires recognizing his deep connections with his disciples and the impoverished Jewish community of his era. They argue that Jesus, as a Jewish figure, not only preached the reign of God uniquely but also served as a beacon of hope for the marginalized. By situating him within this context, Schottroff and Stegemann challenge the tendency to isolate Jesus from his cultural and social roots, offering a fresh perspective on his significance in the earliest Jesus movement.
