Description
Jesus A Life in Class Conflict by James Crossley and Robert J. Myles offers a compelling historical perspective on the life of Jesus of Nazareth. By situating his life within the turbulent social and economic conflicts of first-century Palestine, the authors provide a gripping account of how the Jesus movement emerged as a fervent and deadly serious religious organizer. The book uncovers the emergence of a radical end-time edict that promised divine reversal and judgment, but also offered a new world order ruled in the interests of the peasantry. This vision resonated with ordinary rural workers who sought to represent their values, while the rich were called upon to relinquish their wealth. The authors' vivid portrait of Jesus and his movement sheds light on the material conditions that converged to make this movement happen. A thought-provoking exploration of the historical Jesus, Jesus A Life in Class Conflict is an important contribution to our understanding of the legacy of the Jesus movement in subsequent history.
