<p>The study of Jesus has rarely looked at its own scholarly context, at how the representation of Jesus might be shaped by those who study him. 'Jesus beyond Nationalism' examines how - since the beginnings of historical Jesus studies in the nineteenth century - representations of Jesus have been used to promote hegemonic or mono-cultural views. The ideology behind such representation has operated to deny difference in society, difference in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. Examining depictions of Jesus in a range of contexts - from the Russian Christ and Jesus as 'Holy Anarchist' to Jesus in Muslim thought - Jesus Beyond Nationalism reveals the politics behind the ways in which Jesus has been constructed and presented.</p>

<p>Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism looks at the ideological trends underpinning scholarly and popular quests for the historical Jesus. The book focuses particularly on the context and influence of neoliberalism and related cultural and political concerns, notably postmodernism, multiculturalism and liberal masking of power. Topics covered include the dubious periodisation of the quest for the historical Jesus, 'biblioblogging,' Jesus the 'Great Man' and western individualism, image conscious Jesus scholarship, the 'Jewishness' of Jesus and the multicultural Other, evangelical and 'mythical' Jesuses in economic contexts, and examples of contradictions between personal beliefs and dominant ideological trends in the construction of historical Jesuses.</p>
