At a time when the assumptions of the form critics are increasingly being seen as anachronistic projections of a post-Gutenberg world back into the oral culture of the first century (cf., e.g., James D. G. Dunn in Jesus Remembered [Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2003] or Paul Eddy and Gregory Boyd in The Jesus Legend [Grand Rapids: Baker, 2007]), the extent of Meier's indebtedness to these outdated form-critical assumptions comes out clearly in volume 4. It seems to me that if even half of the recent arguments against the old form-critical assumptions are correct, Meier's meticulous analysis of "small original units of sayings" may ultimately turn out to be a magnificent structure teetering on a foundation of sand.
John Meier's previous volumes in the acclaimed series A Marginal Jew are founded upon the notion that while solid historical information about Jesus is quite limited, people of different faiths can nevertheless arrive at a consensus on fundamental historical facts of his life. In this eagerly anticipated fourth volume in the series, Meier approaches a fresh topic-the teachings of the historical Jesus concerning Mosaic Law and morality-with the same rigor, thoroughness, accuracy, and insightfulness on display in his earlier works. After correcting misconceptions about Mosaic Law in Jesus' time, this volume addresses the teachings of Jesus on major legal topics like divorce, oaths, the Sabbath, purity rules, and the various love commandments in the Gospels. What emerges from Meier's research is a profile of a complicated first-century Palestinian Jew who, far from seeking to abolish the Law, was deeply engaged in debates about its observance. Only by embracing this portrait of the historical Jesus grappling with questions of the Torah do we avoid the common mistake of constructing Christian moral theology under the guise of studying "Jesus and the Law," the author concludes.
