Alan Watson argues that a close examination of the Gospels in their historic and religious context reveals St. Mark&;s text as the most plausible account of how Jesus saw himself and how he was perceived by his contemporaries. In the gospel of Mark, Watson says that we see a Jesus who felt he was beyond the law&;a man who was basically apolitical, hostile to dogma, and deliberately incomprehensible to his followers and enemies. Watson concludes that Jesus was essentially a cult leader&;a charismatic individual who demanded personal faith from his followers with little regard to consistency or content of his message. Jesus: A Profile joins three other works by Watson&;The Trial of Jesus, Jesus and the Law, and Jesus and the Jews&;to examine the early dynamism of western religion through refocused attention on biblical texts and other historical sources.
