In this book, E.P.
Sanders examines Jesus' position within first century Judaism, arguing that Jesus was a disciple of John the Baptist and later became a prophet of Jewish restoration eschatology.
Sanders posits that Jesus did not strongly identify with or oppose any of the major Jewish sects of his time, particularly the Pharisees.
He suggests that Jesus and his followers adhered to Mosaic Law but intended to 'fine tune' it according to eschatological beliefs.
The book also explores Jesus' actions in the Temple, his appointment of the Apostles, and the reasons for his execution, which Sanders attributes to his attack on the Temple and its implications for Jewish and Roman authorities.
