| Summary: | This monograph is the result of research conducted under the supervision of Kari Syreeni in Uppsala. The basic question it seeks to answer is how Jesus related to the purity codes of first-century Palestinian Judaism., Part I begins with a brief and clear presentation of the Jewish purity system(s). Chapter 2 covers questions of criteria and method in relation to a short discussion of historical Jesus research. While clearly seeing the need to interpret Jesus within the framework of Second Temple Judaism, Kazen is equally aware that a presentation of Jesus as having no substantial conflicts with mainstream Judaism leaves us with the paradox of a Jesus who is executed for no reason (cf. J. P. Meier's criterion of rejection and execution). |
