| Summary: | The conventional paradigm for the historical Jesus has been �Jesus the teacher.' Pointing out the shortcomings of that paradigm and making extensive use of comparative anthropological and psychological research, this study presents the paradigm of 'Jesus the prophet/healer: This incorporates much more of our canonical evidence and provides us with the ability to understand how the life of Jesus led to the rise of the Christian movement. It places the historical Jesus within the context of other prophet/healers in other colonial environments who also gave rise to movements that were initially in Pentecostal form. It is suggested that the earliest biographies and histories of Jesus that portray him principally as a prophet/healer and Christianity as a pentecostal cult are better accounts of the historical Jesus than the books of contemporary scholars that insist that Jesus was a social teacher. |
