While the church has always recognized that Jesus was a rabbi or teacher, through biblical scholarship today we know much more about Rabbi Jesus than ever before. We have more pronounced portraits of Jesus as teacher today. Many books survey Jesus' teachings, themes, and messages, but this book uses an entirely different approach to look at Jesus' ministry. This book is ideal for scholars and laypersons who want to learn more about "The Master Teacher."
