The Figure of Christ in the Long Nineteenth Century

Beschreibung

This book is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that explores the variety of

ways in which the interface between understanding the figure of Christ, the

place of the cross, and the contours of lived experience, was articulated through

the long nineteenth century. Collectively, the chapters respond to the

theological turn in postmodern thought by asking vital questions about the way

in which representations of Christ shape understandings of personhood and of

the divine.

Rezensionen

"A particular strength of the volume is its determinedly dialogical rather than oppositional approach across its contributions. ... This volume is impressive in its inclusion of insights from disability studies, Chartism ... and affect theory in its exploration of Christ in the lived religion of its nineteenth-century subjects. By avoiding issues raised by Higher Criticism and the Quest for the historical Jesus ... it breaks new ground."(Alison Jack, Victorian Studies, Vol. 65 (2), 2023)
