Abstract
Paul says that he “knows the mind of Jesus.” And this study seeks the same goal, but one that focuses on Jesus' socialization into the cultural world of the House of Israel. We will consider the Gospel of Luke from the perspective of several social science models. We can learn much about Jesus when we consider him (1) as a group-oriented person; (2) as “socialized” to know about Israel's cultural world; (3) as a participant in Israel's purity system. (4) when we employ native rhetorical genres which instruct a speaker/writer to look for certain things, such as chreiai, which demonstrate the superior wit and wisdom of a recognized wise man, and two of the encomium's topics, “Nurture and Training” and “Accomplishments”; (5) when we evaluate the recovered materials in terms of the social-science concepts of “norms,” “customs,” and “laws”; and (6) when we consider the treatment of Jesus' paideia in Hebrews. Thus we recover and evaluate the materials concerning Jesus' socialization of the laws and traditions of Israel.
