Life

Sanders grew up in modest circumstances in rural Texas, studied Christian theology in New York, Gottingen and Oxford and Jewish theology in New York and Jerusalem. He received his PhD in 1966 on trends in the synoptic tradition.

His first book Paul and Palestinian Judaism received national awards in the U.S., but also aroused strong controversy, as he, the traditional Christian view of the " Pharisaic self-righteousness ," which will maintained ostensibly in Judaism, and the antithesis of "works " and " grace" refuted based on Jewish sources. He is one of the earliest and most important authors of a research that was later called by James Dunn The New Perspective on Paul (New Perspective on Paul ).

In 1985 his book, Jesus and Judaism, which received the Grawemeyer Award for the best book on religion in the 1980s and is seen as a major contribution to the recent historical Jesus research.

Sanders is an expert of the non-biblical Jewish literature of the first centuries.
