I Judge No One: A Political Life of Jesus
David Lloyd Dusenbury
Hurst and Co, £25, 312 pages
The “Political Jesus” of 1970s Liberation Theology (who presents as an anti-colonial activist and proto Utopian-socialist) rests on shaky historical ground. Nevertheless in this book David Lloyd Dusenbury argues that Jesus’s life, death and teaching were “political” in more important terms occurring within the life of overlapping polities and so should frame the Christian conception of Christians’ relationship to earthly power.
