Jesus Christ The Gospels

In this new presentation of the Gospels, Terry Eagleton makes a powerful and provocative argument for Jesus Christ as a social, political and moral radical, a friend of anti-imperialists, outcasts and marginals, a champion of the poor, the sick and immigrants, and as an opponent of the rich, religious hierarchs, and hypocrites everywhere â?? in other words, as a figure akin to revolutionaries like Robespierre, Marx, and Che Guevara.

Terry Eagleton is Professor of Cultural Theory and John Rylands Fellow, University of Manchester. His other books include Ideology: An Introduction, The Function of Criticism, Criticism and Ideology and Figures of Dissent.
