«Jesús el judío» is the historical-religious essay by Geza Vermes, published by Editorial Siglo XXI de España in hardcover, 302 pages and in Spanish.
The historian Geza Vermes, a specialist in ancient Judaism, reads the gospels as historical documents and places Jesus in first-century Galilee. Against later theological interpretations, he presents an observant Jew and charismatic preacher, and explains titles such as prophet, Messiah, Son of man or Son of God from the Jewish traditions of his time.
Work originally published in English in 1972 under the title Jesus the Jew: A Historian's Reading of the Gospels.
Recommended for readers of the history of Christianity, biblical studies and Second Temple Judaism seeking an academic approach to the figure of Jesus.
Géza Vermes, was a British academic, Biblical scholar, and Judaist of Jewish–Hungarian descent—one who also served as a Roman Catholic priest in his youth—and scholar specialized in the field of the history of religion, particularly ancient Judaism and early Christianity. He is best known for his complete translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls into English; his research focused on the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Ancient Hebrew writings in Aramaic such as the Targumim, and on the life and religion of Jesus. Vermes was one of the most important voices in contemporary Jesus research, and he has been described as the greatest Jesus scholar of his time. Vermes' written work on Jesus focuses principally on the Jewishness of the historical Jesus, as seen in the broader context of the narrative scope of Jewish history and theology, while questioning and challenging the basis of the Christian doctrine on Jesus.
