This book tells the story of how nineteenth-century writers turned
to the realist novel in order to reimagine Jesus during a century
where traditional religious faith appeared increasingly untenable.
Re-workings of the canonical Gospels and other projects to
demythologize the story of Jesus are frequently treated as projects
aiming to secularize and even discredit traditional Christian
faith. The novels of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, Eliza Lynn
Linton, and Mary Augusta Ward, however, demonstrate that the work
of bringing the Christian tradition of prophet, priest, and king
into conversation with a rapidly changing world can at times be a
form of authentic faith-even a faith that remains rooted in the
Bible and historic Christianity, while simultaneously creating a
space that allows traditional understandings of Jesus' identity to
evolve.
