A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus. 2: Mentor, Message, and Miracles (1994) is Book Two of the four-volume series A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus (1991-2009 Meier), book.

Abstract

The second volume of the series first examines the figure of John the Baptist and his relationship with Jesus. It then deals with the preaching of Jesus about the kingdom of God and his activity as a miracle worker. Meier argues that the identity (and self-identity) of Jesus as prophet and healer is firmly established from the historical point of view.
