{"product_id":"a-political-reading-of-the-life-of-jesus-9780595415793","title":"A Political Reading of the Life of Jesus","description":"For over 2000 years, Christendom has made the life and teachings of Jesus irrelevant in the realm of politics. In challenging the oppressive systems of his day, Jesus offered a compelling model for political action. His life is an example of the proper integration of politics and religion.\u003cp\u003eThe recognition that Jesus was the leader of a political insurrection is examined in relation to Christology, the doctrine of the Trinity, theories of atonement, love of neighbor, and the role of the Christian church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two powerful themes in the Christian Bible: the Biblical theme of \"Salvation\" is the one the Church has always lifted up because it does not represent any threat to the Powers and domination systems; and the Biblical theme of \"Liberation\" is not generally promoted because it represents a genuine challenge to the Powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy reflecting upon these two powerful Biblical themes, the reader will recognize the social\/political dimensions of his or her life while gaining a greater level of personal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrief dialogues, called \"Credo to Credo,\" are presented with persons who represent various facets of our culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George W.
