The Christian religion figures prominently in the vast output, both
discursive and imaginative, of Miguel de Unamuno. Unamuno studied
nineteenth-century biblical scholarship closely, especially that of
the Liberal Protestant school, but its influence did not dictate
his direction. Without fully accepting the traditional Roman
Catholic interpretation of the New Testament, what position
vis-a-vis Jesus of Nazareth did Unamuno occupy himself? How did he
see this figure from the Palestine of two thousand years ago, which
has been so influential in western culture? What role does the
Nazarene play in Unamuno’s work? What does the presence of Jesus
tell us about the Basque writer’s idiosyncratic and combative
religious views that drew the opprobrium of the Spanish Church
hierarchy? This study focuses on the figure of Jesus of Nazareth as
he appears in Unamuno’s writings – including The Tragic Sense
of Life, The Christ of Velázquez, The Agony of Christianity, and
San Manuel Bueno, mártir.
