The Religion of Jesus the Jew is a profound study of the figure of Jesus from a historical and religious perspective. Géza Vermes, a renowned expert in Judaism from the Second Temple period, examines the Gospels and other ancient sources to reconstruct the life and teachings of Jesus in their original Jewish context. The book explores Jesus' relationship with the Judaism of his time, his message, and his impact on history.
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.
