A useful and concise introduction to the worlds around the New Testament, focusing on seven key moments in the centuries before and after Jesus.
From the early decades of the twentieth century until the 1980s, Marxist art history was at the forefront of radical approaches to the discipline. But in the last two decades of the century and into the next, Marxist art historians found themselves marginalized from the vanguard by the rise of postmodernism and identity politics. In the wake of the recent global crisis there has been a resurgence of interest in Marx. Now available in paperback, this collection of essays, a festschrift in honor of leading Marxist art historian Andrew Hemingway, brings together 30 academics who are reshaping art history along Marxist lines. The essayists include Matthew Beaumont, Warren Carter, Michael Corris, Gail Day, Paul Jaskot, Stewart Martin, Frederic J. Schwartz, Caroline Arscott, Steve Edwards, Charles Ford, Brian Foss, Tom Gretton, Alan Wallach, Michael Bird, Martin I. Gaughan, Barnaby Haran and Fred Orton, among others.
Warren Carter leads the beginning student in an inductive exploration of the New Testament Gospels as distinct tales told about Jesus, with different purposes for different circumstances. He takes up the tale told by each Gospel and presents a reconstruction of its setting, giving attention to overlooked aspects of the Roman imperial setting.
