Summary:

"This study examines the place of violence in Jesus's ministry in the context of eschatological expectations in Second Temple Judaism. By understanding Jesus's nonviolent words and deeds within this framework, it is argued that the Synoptic evangelists portray Jesus as consistently concerned to teach and embody a radical alternative to the idea that the kingdom of God would be inaugerated by the righteous violence of God's faithful people." --Back cover
