Putting Jesus in His Place

"Utilizing the perspectives of sociology and anthropology, Halvor Moxnes presents a study of the historical Jesus that pays close attention to the role of space and place. Following Jesus' life and his decision to leave the central institution of ancient Galilee - the household - and seek companionship among the family of his choosing - his disciples, Moxnes brings to the forefront new questions about Jesus' identity. From there, he turns to Jesus' creation of a new place, the kingdom of God, over against the established political kingdom in Galilee. Presenting the historical Jesus as a radical visionary who redefined the most basic institutions of society, Moxnes's Putting Jesus in His Place promises to draw us deeper into the life and thought-world of the awe-evoking man."--BOOK JACKET.
