Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism : Quests, Scholarship and Ideology Paperback / softback
by James G. Crossley
Part of the BibleWorld series
Paperback / softback
Description
'Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism' analyses the ideology underpinning contemporary scholarly and popular quests for the historical Jesus.
Focusing on cultural and political issues, the book examines postmodernism, multiculturalism and the liberal masking of power.
The study ranges across diverse topics: the dubious periodisation of the quest for the historical Jesus; 'biblioblogging'; Jesus the 'Great Man' and western individualism; image-conscious Jesus scholarship; the 'Jewishness' of Jesus and the multicultural Other; evangelical and 'mythical' Jesuses; and the contradictions between personal beliefs and dominant ideological trends in the construction of historical Jesuses. 'Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism' offers readers a radical revisioning of contemporary biblical studies.
