Description
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-in other words, as a figure akin to revolutionaries like Robespierre, Marx, and Che Guevara.
In this new presentation of the Gospels, renowned thinker Terry Eagleton asks: was Jesus a revolutionary?
