Book Description
The Gospel of Lucas Gavilan is a contemporary "paraphrase" of the familiar biblical narrative of the life of Christ as told by St. Luke. The author was moved by various Latin American spokesmen of the theology of liberation to attempt a novelistic dramatization of their basic tenets. Thus, the locale for the work is the slums surrounding Mexico City, and several rural communities and other urban areas scattered throughout central Mexico. The central figure of the novel reenacts in a Third World context the episodes in Luke's biography of Jesus, beginning with an ignominious birth in a tenement laundry room and ending with a violent death in a police vanóthe aftermath of brutal treatment by representatives of the political Establishment. Taken as a whole, these varied, intriguing "parodies" of the Gospel manage to encompass virtually every exploitative situation imaginable within the Latin American societies of our day. Contents: The Birth and Hidden Life of the Baptist and Jesus; Prelude to the Public Ministry of Jesus; The Galilean Ministry; The Journey to Jerusalem; The Jerusalem Ministry; The Passion; and After the Resurrection.

Author: Heikki Räisänen Publisher: BRILL ISBN: 9004497277 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 334
Book Description
The book offers a selection of the author's seminal recent articles, focusing on Jesus, Paul, and questions of principle. It contributes to the Jesus quest by questioning the authenticity of some sayings and stories usually counted to the "bedrock" of the tradition. It analyses the ambiguous relationship of early Christians, especially Paul, to their Jewish heritage. It suggests new ways of handling fundamental questions of principle in biblical interpretation. The book is likely to stimulate thought and discussion, challenging widely held views. The author reflects on the use of New Testament in responsible modern theology, defending classical historical criticism against recent challenges. The emphasis put on the role of experience in the formation of early Christian thought and on the significance of the "effective history" of the Bible is especially helpful.
