""Horsley brings his usual scholarly acumen to this second volume of essays on the Pharisees and the Jesus movement. Here he summarizes his findings on Pharisees and scribes and turns now to investigate the New Testament response. The Jesus movement in Judea, Galilee, and in the cities of the Mediterranean was engaged in a social and political struggle, and Horsley successfully traces the conflicts as evidenced in the texts of first-century Christianity."" --Lawrence M. Wills, Instructor of Religious Studies and Theology, Stonehill College ""Richard Horsley's decades-long assault on the exhausted theological/biblical studies approaches that still dominate gospel scholarship comes to its full force in this volume, which shows that the gospel materials as they stand exist with minimal 'Christian' theological overlay in the political, economic, media, and narrative memory world of Palestinian Judaism. Horsley's case for the Gospels' clear memory representation of Jesus as a prophet mobilizing a movement for covenant justice, a struggle culminating in his martyrdom, receives here its most thorough grounding ever, and it will be impossible to dismiss."" --Alan Kirk, Professor of Religion, James Madison University
