Summary

In A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus, Volume V, John P. Meier challenges the longstanding consensus that most narrative parables in the Synoptic Gospels derive from the historical Jesus. Arguing with scholarly rigour, he contends that only four parables—the Mustard Seed, the Evil Tenants, the Talents, and the Great Supper—can be fairly attributed to Jesus himself. This volume continues Meier's meticulous quest to uncover the historical Jesus, offering fresh insights into a contentious area of New Testament scholarship.

Description

Since the late nineteenth century, New Testament scholars have operated on the belief that most, if not all, of the narrative parables in the Synoptic Gospels can be attributed to the historical Jesus. This book challenges that consensus and argues instead that only four parables—those of the Mustard Seed, the Evil Tenants, the Talents, and the Great Supper—can be attributed to the historical Jesus with fair certitude.

In this eagerly anticipated fifth volume of A Marginal Jew, John Meier approaches this controversial subject with the same rigor and insight that garnered his earlier volumes praise from such publications as the New York Times and Christianity Today. This seminal volume pushes forward his masterful body of work in his ongoing quest for the historical Jesus.

Praised for its erudition and thoughtful contrarian approach by Simon Gathercole of Cambridge University, the book is noted for its clarity on a complex topic. Gary A. Anderson from Notre Dame highlights Meier's wisdom and wit in navigating the parables, acknowledging the limits of historical certainty. Yale's Adela Yarbro Collins describes the work as a "breath of fresh air" for its frankness on what can be known, emphasising that these four parables remain demonstrably Jesus' teachings.
