| Summary: | This provocative work is certain to stir as much discussion as any recent book in the field of Jesus studies. Seeking a correct understanding of Jesus' views on the authority of Scripture, William Loader examines the diverse ways in which the Gospel writers and their forebears portray Jesus' use of the Law. ; In Jesus and the Fundamentalism of His Day Loader investigates each of the four Gospels as well as the major streams of tradition that stand behind them. What emerges from this fascinating study is a diverse range of interpretations of Jesus. Mark depicts a Jesus prepared to jettison some parts of biblical law. Matthew and Luke, following "Q," portray a Jesus who remained fully observant of the Torah and made his impact through the placement of emphasis. John, by contrast, has Jesus assume the qualities of divine law within himself, never disparaging its requirements though for him they are no longer in force. Loader sets these diverse pictures of Jesus side by side, highlighting both their similarities and their differences and exploring the implications of his study for interpreting Scripture today. ; A challenging work with great consequence for Christian living today, Jesus and the Fundamentalism of His Day will engage teachers, ministers, and all general readers interested, like Jesus, in reading the Bible with an eye to its contemporary relevance. a |
