The Galilean Messiah
Calling Jesus a ‘Jew’ obscures the fact that he was a Galilean rather than a Judaean, specifically a Galilean Israelite rather than a Judaean Israelite. It has hindered appreciation and further analysis of the economic, political and socio-cultural differences between Galileans and Judaeans in Palestine of the first century. Consequently it has contributed toward misinterpretation of several features of the Gospel stories, including the significance of the Galilee-Judaea contrasts. It denies, or at least obscures, the fact that he and his followers were regarded in their own day by their own people as Galileans and not as a party of ‘Jews’ or ‘Judaeans’. Like the term ‘Christian’, it is also an anachronistic identifier that blurs the reality of Jesus as a representative of first-century rather than fourth-century Israel, even though there are numerous aspects of continuity between the Israel of the Mishnaic and post-Mishnaic periods and the Second Temple period of Jesus’ day. After having taught a course at University of San Francisco for over twenty years on ‘Jesus the Jew’ with my colleague Rabbi David Davis in which we stressed the thorough-going ‘Jewishness’ of Jesus, I would now rename that course ‘Jesus the Israelite’ and gladly sacrifice alliteration for historical accuracy.
