Description
What Crucified Jesus? by Ellis Rivkin is a thought-provoking study that explores one of the most pivotal issues in the New Testament: the cause or causes of Jesus' death. Drawing on Jewish scholarship, Rivkin presents a compelling argument that sheds new light on the historical context of Jesus' execution.
Professor E. P. Sanders praises Rivkin's work for its brilliance and convincingness, arguing that it will help to shift the discussion of the historical Jesus onto a firmer historical basis. By gaining a deeper understanding of the environment in which Jesus lived and what led to his death, readers can also gain a better grasp of his life and message.
This book is notable for its readability, making it an accessible and engaging read for anyone interested in the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth.
