Jesus within Judaism : new light from exciting archaeological discoveries
"As James H. Charlesworth points out in Jesus Within Judaism, we cannot understand Jesus, nor fully appreciate him, without knowing the times in which he lived and the culture in which his thoughts were formed. Drawing on a series of spectacular recent discoveries in archaeology and in the literature of the period, Charlesworth begins the scholarly process of filling a critical gap in our historical records"--Jacket
