Man Attested by God, A : The Human Jesus of the Synoptic Gospels
Overview: This book of the author presents a comprehensive defense of the thesis that the Synoptic Gospels present Jesus not as divine but as an idealized human figure. Counterbalancing the recent trend toward early high Christology in such scholars as Richard Bauckham, Simon Gathercole, and Richard Hays, the author thoroughly unpacks the humanity of Jesus as understood by Gospel writters whose language is rooted in the religious and literary context of early Judaism. Without dismissing divine Christologies out of hand, the author argues that idealized human Christology is the best way to read the Synoptic Gospels, and he explores Jesus as exorcist and miracle worker within the framework of his humanity. With wide-ranging exegetical and theological insight that sheds startling new light on familiar Gospel texts. This book offers up-to-date, provocative scholarship that will have to be reckoned with.
