Why was Jesus, who said 'I judge no one', put to death for a
political crime? Of course, this is a historical question-but it is
not only historical. Jesus's life became a philosophical theme in
the first centuries of our era, when 'pagan' and Christian
philosophers clashed over the meaning of his sayings and the
significance of his death. Modern philosophers, too, such as
Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche, have tried to retrace the
arc of Jesus's life and death. I Judge No One is a philosophical
reading of the four memoirs, or 'gospels', that were fashioned by
early Christ-believers and collected in the New Testament. It
offers original ways of seeing a deeply enigmatic figure who calls
himself the Son of Man. David Lloyd Dusenbury suggests that Jesus
offered his contemporaries a scandalous double claim. First, that
human judgements are pervasive and deceptive; and second, that even
divine laws can only be fulfilled in the human experience of love.
Though his life led inexorably to a grim political death, what
Jesus's sayings revealed-and still reveal-is that our highest
desires lie beyond the political.
