Book 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.

Reviews

"Reader beware! Prepare to be provoked into new modes of thinking about the cultural life of the Bible today, as Crossley is one of the most important contemporary bearers of the radical legacy of biblical scholarship.'"

Ward Blanton

"More than a breath of fresh air, this book is a bracing wind. Crossley throws open windows that few of us in biblical studies even knew existed. Having read Crossley, most of us will never be able to see the quest for the historical Jesus in quite the same way again. And that is a very good thing.'"

Stephen D. Moore

"A lively, accessible, and well-informed foray into areas where, some would say, angels might fear to tread.'"
