This book provides a reconstruction of a Passion Narrative claimed to be the ultimate source of the four Gospels. On the basis of this narrative, Theobald reconstructs the history of Jesus' last days in the light of their historical context. The author concludes that the Jewish people did not have a role in Jesus' trial. Also, he interprets the account of the empty tomb as unhistorical because it is based on a literal interpretation of Hosea 6:2. He closes with a proposal for a theology of Jesus' suffering for today, which corrects the anti-Judaism of Christian tradition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This book interprets Jesus' saying that he has come to throw fire on the earth (Luke 12:49) as a reference to his eschatological judgment. It contains valuable surveys of both the ambivalent function of fire in the Old Testament, in Early Judaism and in the New Testament, and of the history of interpretation of this enigmatic text. It ends with a biblical-theological assessment. Despite some minor criticisms, this comprehensive book will be valuable to many. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
