Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography


Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography

Interpretations of the life of Jesus have flourished for nearly two millennia--from the

Gospels to scholarly investigations by theologians and historians, to fictional portraits

by novelists like Nikos Kazantzakis and Norman Mailer. Despite this long history, a

clear and coherent picture of Jesus as a man and a teacher has remained elusive.

Now, Bruce Chilton puts the pieces of the puzzle together in an extraordinary biography

that sweeps readers into first-century Palestine and re-creates the world as Jesus knew

it. Chilton draws on recent archaeological findings to paint a vivid portrait of the social

customs, political forces, and religious beliefs and practices of the period. Examining

new translations and interpretations of ancient texts against this fresh, historically

accurate background, he offers a revolutionary look at Jesus' early life and the

philosophical and psychological foundations of the ideas he promulgated as a young

man. Chilton provides evidence that contradicts long-held beliefs about Jesus and the

movement he led. He shows, for example, that Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Galilee,

not Nazareth or Bethlehem of Judea, and that the High Priest Caiaphas, not Pontius

Pilate, played the central role in Jesus' execution. It is his description of Jesus' role as a

rabbi, or &quotmaser,&quotof Jewish oral traditions, a teacher of the Kabbalah, and a

practitioner of a Galilean form of Judaism that emphasized direct communication with

God, however, that casts an entirely new light on the origins of Christianity. By placing

Jesus within the context of his times, Chilton uncovers truths lost to history and reveals

a new Jesus for the new millennium.
