Review(s)

“Thus, this volume approaches the historical figure of Jesus and the new religion created by his followers from a multidisciplinary perspective, creatively providing a wider knowledge of the social and cultural context of the first two centuries for those readers who are interested in social science, comparative studies, history of biblical interpretation, cultural studies, systematic theology, and modern philosophy.” (David W. Kim, in Cerae, 4, 2017)

BIO

Adriana Destro (Professor of Cultural Anthropology, University of Bologna) has published many books on the anthropology of middle East and of religions, including Villaggio Palestinese (Milano, 1977), The Law of Jealousy (Atlanta, 1989), and I volti della Turchia (Roma, 2012).

Mauro Pesce (professor of History of Christianity, University of Bologna) has published on Jesus, early Christianity and the history of biblical interpretation.

The two editors have written together: Antropologia delle origini cristiane (Roma, 2008); Encounters with Jesus. The man in his Place and Time (Fortress Press, 2011); La morte di Gesù (Milano, 2014); Il racconto e la scrittura (Roma, 2014).

Summary

Within the contemporary renewal of the exegetical and historical research on Jesus and early Christianity, this book focuses on a wider knowledge of the social and cultural context of the first two centuries, thanks to a systematic research of documentary materials and archaeological data (epigraphs and documentary papyri). Secondly, the book faces the increasingly perceived need to use all the existing literary material for the reconstruction of the historical Jesus and the first groups of his followers. Thirdly, the book stresses the importance of giving space to new epistemological and methodological perspectives in the field of human sciences. The last section of the volume is dedicated to the connection of contemporary research with the interpretations of Jesus and early Christianity developed in the modern age.
