Book Synopsis Jesus, Sin and Perfection in Early Christianity by : Jeffrey S. Siker
Book excerpt: The first full-length study to trace how early Christians came to view Jesus as sinless, this volume presents a taxonomy of sin in early Judaism and examines moments in Jesus' life associated with sinfulness. It explores the implications of a retrospective faith that elevated Jesus to perfect divinity, redefining sin.
