In Jesus and the Chaos of History, James Crossley looks at the way
the earliest traditions about Jesus interacted with a context of
social upheaval and the ways in which this historical chaos of the
early first century led to a range of ideas which were taken up,
modified, ignored, and reinterpreted in the movement that followed.
Crossley examines how the earliest Palestinian tradition
intersected with social upheaval and historical change and how
accidental, purposeful, discontinuous, contradictory, and implicit
meanings in the developments of ideas appeared in the movement that
followed. He considers the ways seemingly egalitarian and
countercultural ideas co-exist with ideas of dominance and power
and how human reactions to socio-economic inequalities can end up
mimicking dominant power. In this case, the book analyses how a
Galilean 'protest' movement laid the foundations for its own brand
of imperial rule. This evaluation is carried out in detailed
studies on the kingdom of God and 'Christology', 'sinners' and
purity, and gender and revolution.
