Most modern Christians never think of Jesus as a 'priest.' Perrin, explaining why that is a serious omission, sheds a flood of fresh light on the Gospels and on Jesus himself.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eN. T. Wright\u003c\/b\u003e, University of St. Andrews; author of \u003ci\u003eJesus and the Victory of God\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eJesus the Priest\u003c\/i\u003e fills a major gap in the contemporary quest for Jesus. It is widely known that the word \u003ci\u003emessiah\u003c\/i\u003e could be used for both kings and priests. And yet no full-length study has ever been written on the historical Jesus and the Jewish priesthood. Perrin's book fundamentally changes this situation. Over and over again, he throws fresh light on the priestly dimension of otherwise familiar words and deeds of Jesus. The result is a thought-provoking case that Jesus did in fact speak and act as if he were the eschatological Jewish high priest. Essential reading for anyone interested in Jesus and Judaism.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eBrant Pitre\u003c\/b\u003e, Augustine Institute; author of \u003ci\u003eJesus and the Last Supper\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Perrin\u003c\/b\u003e (PhD, Marquette University) is president of Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois.
