This book examines fifty instances from the afterlife of Matthew's "Massacre of the Innocents." Warren Carter argues that interpreters "think with" the scene's triad of power relations (tyrant, victims, means of tyranny) in various socio-political circumstances and media to make sense of these experiences and address their audiences.
