About this ebook
Based upon Meyer's conviction that a human being can only be truly known by understanding his principal aim or goal in life, this work explains Jesus of Nazareth in exactly that fashion. Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew of the 1st century of this era and to understand him you must have some understanding of the Judaism of that time. - Catholic Signs of Hope.
About the author
Ben Meyer (1927-1995) studied with the Jesuits, his studies taking him to California, Stasbourg, Gottingen, and Rome, where he received his doctorate from the Universita Gregoriana in 1965. He taught briefly at Alma College and at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley before joining the faculty at McMaster University in 1969, where he taught in the Department of Religious Studies until 1992. Meyer's areas of specialization included the historical Jesus, the early expansion of the Christian movement, and the hermeneutics of Bernard Lonergan. He authored several important monographs, including 'The Aims of Jesus', 'The Early Christians', 'Critical Realism and the New Testament', 'Christus Faber', 'Reality and Illusion in New Testament Scholarship', and 'Five Speeches that Changed the World'.
