Memories of Jesus

Viac o knihe

Exploring the Gospels as memories rather than historical accounts, this book delves into the varied portrayals of Jesus and the evolution of these memories across different contexts and eras. It highlights lesser-known Jewish counterstories and rival narratives in the Quran, while addressing the historical impact of these memories, particularly their role in fostering anti-Semitism through the passion narratives. The concluding chapters examine how Jesus' memories have shaped identities for both churches and marginalized communities, especially in modern America.
