Description

Gain a fresh perspective on the Gospels with What did Jesus Mean? by linguist Anna Wierzbicka. Published by Oxford University Press, this work applies a unique semantic theory to the parables and the Sermon on the Mount. By using universal human concepts that are intuitively understandable across different languages, Wierzbicka offers strikingly novel interpretations of these foundational biblical texts. This book is designed for readers who want to bridge the gap between academic rigor and accessibility. It functions as a dialogue with other biblical commentators, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in New Testament criticism and interpretation. Whether you are a student of linguistics or a reader seeking a deeper understanding of the words of Jesus, this interdisciplinary approach provides a new way to look at ancient teachings through a modern, universal lens.

Balances scholarly rigor with an accessible writing style suitable for various readers.
