Summary
By placing Jesus firmly in the context of Judaism, David Catchpole confronts the serious ethical problems of Christian portrayals and caricatures of Jesus and Judaism. Beginning with the mission of John the Baptist, he moves on to consider the costs and implications of discipleship, the centrality of prayer, attitudes toward Israel's way of holiness, the significance of the temple, and Jesus' understanding of his own death.
