Who Is Jesus?: History in Perfect Tense
In Who Is Jesus? Keck clarifies the difference between the way
Jesus is presented in the Gospels and the way critical historians
portray him. He then explores, from four perspectives, Jesus'
contemporary moral and theological pertinence. Keck looks initially
at Jesus as a first-century Jew, then considers how Jesus' mission
was energized by his grasp of the kingdom of God. He goes on to probe
the meaning of the crucifixion of Jesus in light of the biblical
understanding of God's holiness, a theme largely neglected today.
Keck concludes his discussion by looking at Jesus' role in the moral
life of the Christian community.

Endorsements
"Leander Keck invites readers into his own exploration of major issues in the study of Jesus: his Jewishness, his teaching, his death, and his significance for the moral life. While it engagingly maps the scholarly quest of the Jesus of history, Who is Jesus? is equally attentive to the present tense. A welcome contribution for students and scholars alike."
