A Deep Dive into America's Complex Relationship with Jesus
There's no denying America's rich religious background-belief is woven into daily life. But as Stephen Prothero argues in American Jesus, many of the most interesting appraisals of Jesus have emerged outside the churches: in music, film, and popular culture; and among Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and people of no religion at all.
Delve into this compelling chronicle as it explores how Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth, has been refashioned into distinctly American identities over the centuries. From his enlistment as a beacon of hope for abolitionists to his appropriation as a figurehead for Klansmen, the image of Jesus has been as mercurial as it is influential. In this diverse and conflicted scene, American Jesus stands as a testament to the peculiar fusion of the temporal and divine in contemporary America.
Equal parts enlightening and entertaining, American Jesus goes beyond being simply a work of history. It's an intricate mirror, reflecting the American spirit while questioning the nation's socio-cultural fabric.
