Critical scholarly acclaim:
"It is precisely this presentation of Jesus as a king and its
associations with his presentation as prophet which is the central
focus of Wayne Meeks' exhaustive study of the traditions concerning
Moses and their influence on Johannine Christology.... Meeks finds
the milieu of Johannine Christology to include a complex Jewish and
Samaritan tradition, probably centered in Galilee, concerning the
figure of Moses."
--Robert Kysar, Bandy Professor of Preaching and New Testament
Interpretation Emeritus, Candler School of Theology, Emory
University
"Rare in scholarship is a consummate magnum opus that continues to
influence the field fifty years after it was published--let alone a
scholar's dissertation! Anyone who investigates the Christology of
John, characterization in John, Moses in the New Testament, or the
use of the Old Testament in the New Testament must engage Meeks'
Prophet-King. How gratifying that new generations of biblical
scholars will now have ready access to this classic work."
--Jaime Clark-Soles, Professor of New Testament and Altshuler
Distinguished Teaching Professor, Perkins School of Theology
