Jesus: Radical Organizer Against Empire
This chapter explores the evolution of historical Jesus research, focusing on Jesus's identity as a first-century Jew and his political opposition to Roman imperialism. It examines the reluctance within church communities to embrace this radical interpretation while critiquing the domesticating narratives that align Jesus with bourgeois values. The discussion extends to contemporary implications of Jesus's organizing efforts for marginalized communities and the importance of solidarity in social movements.
