註釋"Inquiry about and from Jesus Jesus emerges in the history of ancient Israel, and he cannot be separated from it if we are to understand him as a figure in human history. Israel's ancient history, however, is drenched in the blood of holy war in the name of God, the supposed Father of Jesus. Many people rightly doubt that all of the blood spilled there is redemptive as turning something bad into something good. If real, the alleged good involved often eludes perception by many of us, through no evident fault of our own. We should ask how Jesus fits into Israel's ancient history of holy war, if he does fit. Our answer will attend to Jesus's own understanding of his role in holy war, and it thus will clarify the relation of Jesus to the God of ancient Israel. In doing so, our answer will reveal a portrait of Jesus that is neglected by many commentators on his life and work and by many of his self-avowed followers, early and late. We shall see that Jesus's chosen conflict is not military but moral-theological, aimed at divine-human reconciliation in God's goodness. We may understand moral goodness broadly in terms of the supreme good, bearing on personal character, virtue, and action and thus on value, praiseworthiness, and rightness, individually and interpersonally. Even so, divine goodness is not reducible to moral goodness, because it includes goodness in domains other than the moral domain, including the cognitive and prudential domains"--
