Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the belief that Jesus, like other Jewish apocalyptic preachers, believed the Kingdom of God would be established on Earth soon after his death. The author examines the eschatological content of Jesus' teachings and actions, considering the influence of Jewish apocalyptic imagery on his message. The author does not dismiss the possibility of later revisions of Jesus' words and actions, noting the influence of the early Christian movement in the writings we have today. The author presents three main ideas: firstly, that we cannot ignore the eschatological nature of Jesus' teachings, despite later re-interpretations; secondly, that there is an inevitable relativity in the teachings of Jesus due to the time and place in which he lived; and thirdly, that Jesus' teachings reached beyond apocalyptic motifs, to touch upon psychological and ethical subjects. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of early Christianity, as well as to those interested in religious history, and especially the history of apocalypticism.
