Omschrijving

"This volume takes forward a new conversation on the crucified Jesus—a political prisoner sentenced to death by the powers that be and subjected to sexual abuse during the process of captivity and execution. It offers a highly creative and sophisticated enquiry that draws on social and cultural contexts and perspectives from throughout the world. Altogether an excellent example of ideological criticism today."

"This volume takes forward a new conversation on the crucified Jesus—a political prisoner sentenced to death by the powers that be and subjected to sexual abuse during the process of captivity and execution. It offers a highly creative and sophisticated enquiry that draws on social and cultural contexts and perspectives from throughout the world. Altogether an excellent example of ideological criticism today."

This remarkable collection of essays reveals how profoundly the authors have been affected by the idea of Jesus as a victim of sexual abuse. The depth and seriousness of the contributions, the mix of theological and personal reflection, and the excitingly unpredictable variety of response, points to the revelatory quality of what is being discussed. It is a tribute to an idea whose time has come.

"The issues around the suffering of Jesus, its meaning and its implications for contemporary church practices are complex, difficult and vitally important. There are certain aspects of Jesus’s suffering that are rarely talked about, partly because sometimes they are not noticed, and partly because when they are noticed they are deeply uncomfortable. This book brings together an important group of scholars who have noticed something that we should all pay attention to. This book is an important contribution to a vital area of theology and Christian practice."

This startling book provides an array of voices, theological disciplines, themes and insights into the significance of human bodies and how they are treated. This text is a reminder that the ways in which we relate to bodies and the peoples they represent is not neutral or objective. Indeed, in using the phrase 'When did we see you naked' the editors of this fine book are challenging us with one of the most declamatory statements of the whole Bible - failure to see the bodies of those who are suffering is the critical failure to see the risen Christ amongst God's suffering people. This book is simply a must read!

‘The collection of essays in this volume, appealing in both form and content, invites us to strip bare conventional hetero-patriarchal norms of what constitutes sexual abuse. The bold hermeneutical meanderings in the essays, make solidarity between text and context possible. The volume will certainly inspire courageous and challenging conversations which are likely to unravel normative assumptions about the sacred and the sexual.’
