Jesus as Israel's Messiah : Engaging the Work of N.Thomas Wright

This volume looks at the work of N. Thomas Wright, the Bishop of Durham and a leading New Testament scholar. "Jesus as Israel's Prophet" is one of four volumes in which leading historical-Jesus scholars engage with, and build upon, the historical-Jesus contributions made by four key contributors to the field.

Each volume will identify and evaluate the key contributions made by a significant historical-Jesus scholar who has had a tremendous impact on what has been termed 'the third quest for the historical Jesus'.

As well, the essays by their fellow historical-Jesus scholars will demonstrate the person's influence with contributions to the discipline that build upon the scholar's key contributions.

Furthermore, the entire project is intended to be a dialogue, for the person will be given an opportunity to respond to the essays of his fellow scholars.

Formerly the "Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement", a book series that explores the many aspects of New Testament study including historical perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural and contextual approaches. "The Early Christianity in Context" series, a part of JSNTS, examines the birth and development of early Christianity up to the end of the third century CE.

The series places Christianity in its social, cultural, political and economic context. "European Seminar on Christian Origins" and "Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus Supplement" are also part of JSNTS.
