The book delves into the historical self-perception of Jesus, focusing on his messianic identity. Michael Bird rigorously critiques prevailing scholarly arguments that deny Jesus's self-understanding as the Messiah. By analyzing Jesus's spoken words and actions during his ministry, Bird constructs a compelling case that illustrates Jesus's awareness of contemporary messianic expectations. He presents a nuanced view of Jesus as an informed Judean who engaged with and fulfilled the role of God's end-time agent, offering a fresh perspective on this pivotal aspect of Christian theology.
