About This paperback
In this major new work, Alan Storkey deftly examines the politics of Jesus, reading out from the life and work of Jesus instead of reading into the New Testament with a predisposed agenda. Storkey presents a thorough narrative reading of the Gospels, moving into issues of political philosophy, principle, and practice. Unlike other authors who focus on political themes, Storkey provides a significant, unique contribution by focusing on politics itself.
Storkey begins with an analysis of the political landscape into which Jesus was born, lived, and taught. From there, Storkey moves through Jesus' life and work, examining specific topics including Jesus as Messiah, Jesus as world ruler, taxation, and the politics of the resurrection. Throughout, Storkey's focus is on the political meaning of the events themselves.
Jesus and Politics makes a significant contribution to the field--finding a place among noted titles from Yoder, Hays, and Hauerwas. It will appeal to students of the New Testament, Christianity and culture, politics, and economics as well as thoughtful readers interested in Jesus studies and politics.
