Items related to The Charismatic Leader and His Followers
Taking as his starting-point Jesus' saying in Mt.8.22 'Let the dead bury the dead' Professor Hengel subjects Jesus' discipleship sayings to a rigorous historical scrutiny. The sharp break with contemporary Jewish mores in Mt.8.22 leads Hengel to a consideration of other contemporary forms of discipleship, Cynic, Rabbinic and Zealot. Rejecting the view that Jesus was some kind of 'Rabbi' Hengel argues that there are, despite the obvious fundamental differences, closer similarities between Jesus and the charismatic-prophetic leaders of the Maccabean-Zealot tradition. Both his call to leave all and go after him, and his freedom and authority over against the Law, place him closer to the Zealots than to the Scribes and their disciples whose relationship was foremost that of teacher and pupil. Professor Hengel gives a remarkable series of historical insights into the character of Jesus' ministry and his work with his disciples.
