In the gospel of Mark, Watson says that we see a Jesus who felt he was beyond the law--a man who was basically apolitical, hostile to dogma, and deliberately incomprehensible to his followers and enemies. Watson concludes that Jesus was essentially a cult leader--a charismatic individual who demanded personal faith from his followers with little regard to consistency or content of his message. \u003ci\u003eJesus: A Profile\u003c\/i\u003e joins three other works by Watson--\u003ci\u003eThe Trial of Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJesus and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJesus and the Jews\u003c\/i\u003e--to examine the early dynamism of western religion through refocused attention on biblical texts and other historical sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362385772793,"sku":"9780820341552","price":40.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/czl2cDNjbUxFQllpSjdYYS9VSE1RQT09.webp?v=1769904794","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/jesus-a-profile-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
