Blasphemy and Exaltation in Judaism
Why Jesus was put to death remains a pivotal issue in New Testament scholarship. The Marcan account of the Jewish examination of Jesus lies at the heart of the debate. Darrell Bock defends the historical-cultural veracity of Mark's portrayal through a careful study of the Jewish views on blasphemy and exaltation.

Praise for this book
""This is a very timely and fascinating book! With his comprehensive and carefully interpreted collection of biblical and early Jewish statements on blasphemy and exaltation, the author has provided the material for a fresh historical and theological evaluation of the controversial theme of the trial of Jesus."" -- Dr. Otto Betz, University of Tübingen ""The book brings new insight to the trial of Jesus and the reason for his being handed over to the Romans on the dramatic night before his crucifixion. Dr. Bock's vast learning and knowledge make it a capstone in research."" -- Dr. Martin Hengel, University of Tübingen ""This careful, detailed, and engaging study has major implications for our understanding of Jesus' view of himself and what motivated the ruling priests to seek his death. This book, packed with relevant and intriguing data, is a pleasure to read."" -- Craig A. Evans, Trinity Western University ""Bock makes several important contributions to the study of Jesus' trial . . . he makes a more plausible case than has been presented heretofore."" --Frank Matera, Catholic Biblical Quarterly
