The Ethel M. Wood Lecture that Sanders delivered at the University of London on 15 February 1990, the year he moved from Oxford to Duke University, published by the University of London as a booklet. Its subject, as its title says, is whether and in what sense the teaching of Jesus can be called unique when set beside the Judaism of his time, a question that runs through his work on the historical Jesus.
