Simon J. Joseph

Nonviolent Messiah (eBook, ePUB)

Jesus, Q, and the Enochic Tradition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When scholars have set Jesus against various conceptions of the "messiah" and other reemptive figures in early Jewish expectation, those questions have been bound up with the problem of violence, whether the political violence of a militant messiah or the divine violence carried out by a heavenly or angelic figure. Simon J. Joseph enters the wide-ranging discussion of violence in the Bible, taking up questions of Jesus of Nazareth's relationship to the violence of revolutionary militancy and apocalyptic fantasy alike, and proposes an innovative new approach. Missing from past discussions, Joseph contends, is the unique conception of an Adamic redeemer figure in the Enochic material-a conception that informed the Q tradition and, he argues, Jesus' own self-understanding.
