Jesus as Philosopher. The Moral Sage in the Synoptic Gospels. - THORSTEINSSON, R. M.,
The Moral Sage in the Synoptic Gospels
KORTE INHOUD
This is a clear, readable and informative study which works systematically through selected topics in the Synoptic Gospels using sources from the teachings/lives of philosophers. He helpfully observes that, although there are differences between ancient schools, their basic purpose was the relationship between 'philosophical discourse and way of life' (p.15). Consequently, he compares the portrayal of Jesus' ethical teaching/life with the philosophers and shows remarkable similarities, e.g., on suffering and death (cf., Socrates). Nevertheless, he concludes that Jesus's teachings and life are superior. Recommended. Robert S. Dutch, Journal for the Study of the New Testament |a 25/07/2019 (Publisher's information).
