内容説明
In "Jesus and the Law" Watson measures the success of Jesus' ministry by explaining his attitude toward, and knowledge of, certain laws and legal customs and by assessing the legal implications of his actions and teachings. Watson's conclusions are insightfully contrary to assumptions and sentiments that Jesus's detractors were predisposed to view him unkindly and thus somehow deserved his stinging criticisms. Jesus engendered such harsh responses from his fellow Jews, says Watson, by apparently contemptuous or insensitive behaviour that stemmed from his lack of knowledge or concern about legal and rabbinic strictures. Watson draws heavily on Mark as both the most historically plausible of the gospels, and the gospel in which the best evidence of the earliest relevant legal traditions can be found. From his earliest legal transgressions - flouting the rules of hand-washing and healing by word and hand on the Sabbath - Jesus, says Watson, showed a continual escalation of hostility to Jewish law.
Later presenting himself as beyond the law, Jesus directly confronted the scribes, verbally abused the Pharisees, denied part of the validity of Mosaic law, and violently disrupted Passover observances in the so-called cleansing of the Temple. As his antagonism increased, Jesus used, wilfully or otherwise, weak legal arguments and misunderstood the role of the Pharisees as lawmakers. Those wary of Jesus, especially the Pharisees, at first watched him closely, even hopefully, but grew increasingly hostile toward him with each breach of law or custom. The central cause of this hostility, says Watosn, was their perception of Jesus' confusion about or ignorance of the law. What emerges from Watson's strikingly original arguments is more than a vivid retelling of the events of the Gospels. Informed by Watson's knowledge of Jewish and Roman law and ancient history, and by his skilful relation of Mishnaic and Talmudic materials to the time of Jesus, "Jesus and the Law" is a work that should profoundly affect our understanding of the New Testament.
