Bruce Chilton and Deirdre J.

  Jesus The Meek King

  Jesus the Meek King is an exploration of a specific virtue in Paul, Matthew, the Hellenistic world, and English literature from Tyndale to the present. Modern readers are likely to understand the term meek as Jesus’ attempt to commend and exemplify submissive or humble behavior. “The meek” may even be seen unfavorably as those likely to submit tamely to oppression or injury.
