Abstract

Considers portrayals of Jesus in the New Testament and beyond, Jesus in non-Christian religions, philosophical and historic perspectives, modern manifestations, and representations in Christian art, novels, and film ... Comprehensive scope of coverage distinguishes this work from similar offerings ... Examines both Christian and non-Christian perspectives on Jesus, including those from ethnic and sexual groups, as well as from other faiths ... Offers rich and rewarding insights which will shape our understanding of this influential figure and his enduring legacy."--Publisher description.
