| Summary: | This book is, in my opinion, a ground-breaking work in biblical scholarship especially in NT studies. The book is centred on the institutionalization of authority and the naming of Jesus. It comprises of four sections. In the first section, the author asserts that Jesus' followers were responsible for attributing honorary titles to Jesus after the Easter event. Using a socio-historical approach and narrative criticism, the author argues that the earliest Christian scribes expressed the authority of Jesus by means of his names. The names of Jesus have a tradition history that should be re-interpreted on different levels of contextualization which specifically pertains to the four canonical gospels. The biographical genre and the narrative structure of these gospels confirm that the authors applied the words and deeds of Jesus to their own post-Easter context in new ways. |
