A premier New Testament scholar explores how Jesus'trial and execution are portrayed in the New Testamentand how that portrayal has affected biblical studies, Christiantheology, and Jewish-Christian relations through history.Tomson has written an accessible, responsible analysis of thebiblical accounts of Jesus' death, demonstrating how, throughcompounded misunderstandings, they contributed toanti-Jewish sentiment in the early church and later history. Tomson's question of how Jesus is to be understood in hisfirst-century Judean context is a critical one not only for biblicalscholars, but for anyone concerned about human rightsand interreligious dialogue today.
Peter J. Tomson is Professor of New Testament and Patristics at the University of Brussels Theological Faculty in Belgium. He is co-editor of The Image of the Judaeo- Christians in Ancient Jewish and Christian Literature (2003) and author of Paul and the Jewish Law (Fortress Press, 1990).
