Jesus & the Restoration of Israel: A Critical Assessment of N.T. Wright's Jesus and the Victory of God

This book, edited by Carey C. Newman, offers a multifaceted and critical assessment of N. T. Wright's work, Jesus and the Victory of God. Wright responds to the essayists, and Marcus Borg offers his critical appraisal. N. T. Wright's Jesus and the Victory of God is widely heralded as one of the most significant and brilliantly argued works of the historical Jesus. In this volume of his multivolume investigation titled "Christian Origins and the Question of God", Wright uncovers a Jesus that most historians and believers have never met. Jesus & the Restoration of Israel is a serious attempt to offer a multifaceted and critical appreciation and assessment of Wright's work. Essays focus on Israel's continuing exile, Jesus as prophet, his Christology, apocalyptic sayings, parables and ethics. Newman sets the stage with an introduction, and Craig Blomberg offers a critical and appreciative overview of Jesus and the Victory of God. Various facets of Wright's proposal are then investigated by contributors.
