The Wisdom of Jesus

More about the book

The book explores the authentic sayings of Jesus as recognized by scholars, contrasting them with the wisdom of ancient Israel's sages and early church apostles. It highlights the challenges historians face in separating historical fact from later interpretations, suggesting that most accounts of Jesus are derived or invented. By focusing on the few sayings likely attributed to Jesus, the study presents him as a complex, lower-class figure whose teachings are rooted in everyday life rather than traditional religious contexts.
