Jesus Revisited

By Elli Prinz

Third Prize, 2018 – 2019

The essay by Elli Prinz is an analysis of the life of Jesus regarding his teachings and ministry. It evaluates his words within the context of his Jewish heritage as well as within the religious climate of Judaism that existed during his time. By the process of defining Jewish philosophical norms, placing Jesus into first century Israel, and accommodating for the effects of time and language on effective translation, it argues that Jesus was a Jewish man to his very core and that the foundation of his teachings rested in the Torah.
