Rabbi Yeshua, the religious Jew who walked the earth two thousand years ago, is presented anew through the refracting lenses of the four gospels and the picture of the dynamic, turbulent, then-contending various ‘Judaisms’ (plural intended) of his time. In this emergent image of Yeshua, Professor Swidler writes as a modern Christian theologian—not so much about Christ, but about the historical Jesus, or Rabbi Yeshua ha Notzri (Rabbi Jesus the Nazorean). He presents a timeless model for how to live today a full human life by taking on responsibility for the oppressed of society, breaking through anti-feminine stereotypes, and living an androgynous model; for all (not just Christians) to follow. Suitable for textbook use.
