Beschreibung
Drawing on examples from literature, art, and popular culture, as well as theology, this engaging book reveals the importance of the question, "whose was he?" in fully understanding the life and legacy of Jesus. * A concise, accessible and engaging exploration of Jesus's life and enduring influence * Charts the changing global status and influence of Jesus, a Galilean Jew born when the ancient Roman Empire ruled the Mediterranean world, and how he has come to be honored as the Christ and recognized by billions of people around the world * Traces the reception history of Jesus and his story over the past two millennia, through art, literature, and culture, as well as theology * Draws on a fascinating range of materials - from ancient texts, creeds, and theological treatises, to the visual and dramatic arts, including books like The DaVinci Code and films such as The Passion of the Christ
Rezensionen
"The author draws on a range of materials, including ancient texts, creeds, theological treatises, and sources from the visual and dramatic arts, such as The Da Vinci Code and The Passion of Christ."
"A topically arranged, select bibliography, chapter endnotes, and a single subject/proper name index enhance this introductory text's classroom usefulness."
"A remarkable book. Tatum has taken on the daunting task of sailing the Christological currents from the backwaters of first century Nazareth to the cultural tsunamis of twenty-first century globalization. He adroitly navigates vast and ever-shifting intellectual coastlines, the tumultuous rocks of history and the undertow of politics, while never losing sight of the fundamental reasons for embarking on this hazardous venture."
--Arthur J. Dewey, Xavier University
"Written in deft and crystalline prose, this is a well-informed, instructive, and insight-filled book for anyone interested in the reception history following Jesus."
--Darren J. N. Middleton, Texas Christian University
