Amid competing portrayals of the "cynic Jesus," the "peasant Jesus," and the "apocalyptic Jesus," the "political Jesus" remains a marginal figure. Douglas E. Oakman argues that advances in our social-scientific understanding of the political economy of Roman Galilee, as well as advances in the so-called "Third Quest" for the historical Jesus, warrant a revivaland a critical revisionof H. S. Reimarus's understanding of Jesus as an instigator of revolutionary change.
Douglas E. Oakman is professor of religion at Pacific Lutheran University and the author of Jesus and the Economic Questions of His Day (1986) and, with K. C. Hanson, Palestine in the Time of Jesus, 2nd ed. (Fortress Press, 2007).
