When scholars have set Jesus against various conceptions of the ';messiah' and other reemptive figures in early Jewish expectation, those questions have been bound up with the problem of violence, whether the political violence of a militant messiah or the divine violence carried out by a heavenly or angelic figure.

Missing from past discussions, Joseph contends, is the unique conception of an Adamic redeemer figure in the Enochic materiala conception that informed the Q tradition and, he argues, Jesus' own self-understanding.
