	Vermes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vermes ("worms") is an obsolete taxon used by Carolus Linnaeus and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck for all non-arthropod invertebrate animals.
		Of the classes of Vermes as proposed by Linnaeus, only Mollusca (the molluscs) has been kept as a phylum, and its composition has changed almost entirely.
		A number of the organisms classified as Vermes by Linnaeus where very poorly known, a number of them was not even viewed as animals.

	Encyclopedia: Geza Vermes
		Vermes' written work on Jesus focuses principally on Jesus the Jew, as seen in the broader context of the narrative scope of Jewish history and theology.
		While Vermes is not given to resorting to the ad hominem attacks and ridicule so often used by the "keepers of the consensus" regarding the Dead Sea Scrolls, his strict adherence to the party line of the "keepers" is a constant and depressing reminder of the scandal that culminated in the publication of this book.
		Vermes puts together a three-part essay on his view (as well as a little on alternative views) of who was the community at Qumran, the history of that community, and the religious ideas of the community.

		Vermes shows that the religion of Jesus, the exorcist, the preacher, and the friend of pariahs was authentically Jewish.
		Vermes lovingly reveals his evidence concerning the religio-historical niche for the man most Christians believe to be God incarnate and who unbiased others believe to be a Prophet who greatly influenced Jews, Muslims, Christians and others for nearly 2000 years.
		Vermes opens the door to Hebrew acceptance and inclusion of this inspired Jew, who was at the very least, a great prophet.

	News-Star OnlineAmid current controversy, Jewish scholar takes a fresh look at Jesus' life and death 10/11/03
		Vermes thus shuns the Gospels' explanation that the dispute involved Jesus' claims to be the Messiah and the unique Son of God who exercised divine powers.
		Vermes thinks Bultmann, and his followers in Germany and elsewhere, felt at home in the Greek setting of the early church and lacked "any real familiarity with the literature, culture, religion and above all spirit" of the Jewish world from which Jesus and his disciples emerged.
		Vermes also questions a major criterion liberals use to decide what's authentic in the Gospels: "dissimilarity." In this theory, the most reliable material in the Gospels lacks parallels in Judaism and the early church.

		Geza Vermes was/is professor of Jewish studies at Oxford, and his excellent approach in this tome is to avoid both the pitfalls of narrow-minded orthodoxy and the sterile, mechanistic strains of German theological scholarship.
		Vermes is curious, but never heavy-handed or brow-beating, either as a scholar or a theologian.
		Upon this point, Vermes concludes that the notion of "Son of God" in the Gospels is not an original form of terminology but was already well founded in Palestinian Jewish Belief to denote teachers that were highly respected by their peers.

	Dwight Longenecker - Author and Broadcaster
		The young Vermes was ordained as a Catholic priest, only to return to the faith of his fathers in the 1960s.
		Vermes has said he is simply trying to get beyond 2000 years of Christian interpretation to understand how a sympathetic first century Jew would have responded to Jesus.
		Vermes’ books on Jesus are important, and if Vermes’ Jesus is taken with all the others, despite Bultmann’s pessimism, a fascinating mosaic portrait of the human Jesus can be pieced together.

The hierarchy ranging from the SYL Technical Directors to the Regional ODP Staff Coaches, the Regional Age Scouts and the Club Scouts provides a system for safeguards along the way, as well as depoliticizes the process.

		Vermes, professor emeritus of Jewish studies at Oxford, begins with the Gospel of John, which he asserts was the first to ascribe divine status to Jesus, and proceeds through the Pauline letters, the Book of Acts and the Synoptic Gospels.
		Vermes' procedure is to look through the Bible and unpeel the various accretions of Christian dogma like an onion's layers.
		Professor Vermes' method is to carefully dig away the layers of theological encrustation that formed over the narrative of Jesus' words and actions in the New Testament by a sort of painstaking literary archaeological dig.

		It is to Vermes' credit, and an indication of the impact of his book, that in current Third Quest Jesus study we take his Jewishness and his Jewish background as basic to any legitimate interpretation of his nature, teaching, or mission.
		Vermes sets Jesus within a context of the Judaism we know from early rabbinics, and examines various titles and practices ascribed to Jesus against this background.
		Vermes' argument is that Jesus was a Hasid, a type of charismatic miracle worker common in first century Galilee.

	The Second Coming of the Liberal Jesus?
		For Crossan, in contrast with Vermes and Borg, the religious dimension of Jesus' word and deed is almost totally absorbed into his social role as a countercultural itinerant on the border of revolt.
		Vermes is surely on the more solid ground here in contending that there is no evidence that Jesus was "hostile to the Torah in principle or refused to abide by it in practice"; to the contrary, "he acknowledged the Law of Moses as the foundation stone of his Judaism.
		What must not be overlooked is that the authors' separation of Jesus from futurist eschatology, the secularized reduction of his message and mission to (peasant) class protest and social reconstruction, and the refusal to acknowledge the positive and formative influence of Jewish piety on Jesus are all of a piece.

		For all his strengths, Vermes is a peremptory writer who gives the impression that the mystery of Christian origins has been finally solved.

		Vermes, a Biblical scholar and author of THE COMPLETE DEAD SEA SCROLLS, examines the New Testament not only for the subtleties of its canonical scriptures, the Gospels of St. Mark, St. Matthew, and St. Luke, but also for its relationship with contemporary Jewish culture.
		This introduction to Palaeolithic archaeology, which focuses on Britiain, asks questions about when and how Europe was inhabited, whether the Neanderthal was a club-wielding brute or a pacifist, and if Neanderthal burials actually had an element of ritual or were nothing more than a method of disposing of the body.
		Geza Vermes is known world-wide as an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls and for his pioneering work, Jesus the Jew.

		In his new book, acclaimed religious scholar Geza Vermes subjects all the sayings of Jesus to brilliantly informed scrutiny.
		Profoundly aware of the limits of our knowledge but immersed in what we do have—both the “official” gospels and associated Jewish and early Christian texts—Vermes sieves through every quote ascribed to Jesus to let the reader get as close as possible to the charismatic Jewish healer and moralist who changed the world.
		The result is a book that creates a revolutionary and unexpected picture of Jesus—scraping aside the accretions of centuries to approach as close as we can hope to his true teaching.

		The flaw with this method of deconstruction is that it narrows what Jesus was to what Vermes, with his own bias, imagines a Galilean Jew could have been.
		More damaging, the transition from Vermes' purely Jewish Jesus who never intended to preach to the gentiles, to the resurrected Jesus perceived by those Jewish Christians (like James, the brother of Jesus, or Peter) who then started the Christian movement amongst both Jews and eventually gentiles, is unexplained.
		That is to say, with his pruning Vermes takes away some of the elements that make the emergence of a Jewish Christian sect understandable.
