More about the book
The book presents a provocative argument suggesting that the New Testament's relevance to contemporary society may be overstated. Professor Sanders posits that Jesus' ethical teachings are deeply intertwined with his belief in the imminent arrival of God's kingdom, making them inseparable. He further asserts that Paul shares this expectation of an impending end, influencing his use of divine pronouncements. This perspective challenges traditional interpretations and invites readers to reconsider the implications of these foundational texts.
