Ward Blanton Knihy

The book presents a collection of essays that explore the cultural and ideological roots of historical Jesus studies from the nineteenth century. It critically examines the underlying presuppositions of contemporary interpretations of Jesus, emphasizing the concept of 'cultural complexity' to reveal how hegemony influences these narratives. Through this lens, the essays challenge traditional perspectives and encourage a deeper understanding of the multifaceted cultural contexts surrounding the figure of Jesus.

Blanton challenges the idea of Paulinism as a pop Platonic worldview or form of social control.

A call for new forms of solidarity and spiritual practice.
