Jesus The Pharisee by Hyam Maccoby
A New Look at the Jewishness of Jesus
Posits that Jesus belonged to the Pharisaic tradition of Second Temple Judaism rather than opposing it, recasting Gospel depictions of Pharisees as later polemics. It argues his chief antagonists were the Sadducean Temple authorities, questions the historicity of the trial narratives, and portrays his teachings as continuous with Pharisaic ethics and law. The work further claims that the original Jewish movement was later transformed by Hellenistic influences, particularly through Paul, which fueled enduring Christian misunderstandings of Judaism.
