The Early Jesus Movement and Its Parties

A New Way to Look at the New Testament

By: Harry W. Eberts,Paul Roberts Eberts

What have generations of New Testament scholars been hiding from us over all the ages? Harry and Paul Eberts challenge readers to rethink the New Testament. Most scholars have presumed there was a reasonably unified movement among the Christian churches led by Peter, Paul, James, and Philip immediately following Jesus' death and resurrection. The Eberts suggest that at least four parties vied with each other to attract converts to the belief that Jesus is the Christ: Peter/James/Stephen, Philip, and Apollos/ and Paul and Barnabas. Up to now, most scholars have presumed the Gospels to be at least somewhat "additive" in developing the character of Jesus. The Eberts suggest that each Gospel represents the viewpoint of one of the four parties, thus presenting differing views of the meaning of Jesus' life, his death, and his resurrection. There has been the regular presumption that St. Paul's letters were unified statements of his views of beliefs, behaviors, and practices in the early churches. The Eberts instead suggest that the letters show a shifting over time in Paul's theology and ethics as the apostles struggled with the other three Christian parties and with Gentiles to convert nonbelievers to Christianity. Harry and Paul Eberts are brothers devoted to researching the New Testament. Both are Yale Divinity School graduates.

The Early Jesus Movement and Its Gospels

Four Major Parties, Four Major Gospels

By: Harry W. Eberts,Paul Roberts Eberts

This book, third in the Eberts' "Early Jesus" series, breaks ground not covered in other books on the Gospels. First, it views Jesus' life and ministry in a socio-political/economic-religious context. It then presents a never-before-seen chronology of Jesus' ministry (across three chapters) and, something not usually done by other scholars, the Eberts have characterized each Gospel. They posit that Mark shows Jesus as the Healing, Suffering, and Trusting One; that Matthew shows Jesus as the Righteous and Just One; Luke shows Jesus as the Caringly Compassionate and Socially Just One; and John shows Jesus as One with the Living, Loving, and Active God. Harry and Paul Eberts" are brothers devoted to researching the New Testament. Both graduated from Heidelberg College in Ohio, and from Yale Divinity School. Harry received his Doctor of the Science of Theology (STD) from San Francisco Theological Seminary; Paul, his PhD in Sociology from the University of Michigan. Harry was ordained by the Presbyterian Church, USA, serving churches in California, Illinois, and Ohio. He taught at San Francisco Theological Seminary, and the Coptic Evangelical Church in both Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt. Paul has taught sociology at the University of Michigan, SUNY Binghamton, and Cornell University. He has been on discipline-related committees of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Sociological Association, and the Rural Sociology Society.
