Scholarship on the historical Jesus and, now, on the "Jesus
movement" generally divides into separate camps around two sticky
questions: was Jesus an apocalyptic prophet and was the movement
around him political, that is nationalistic or revolutionary? Mary
Ann Beavis moves the study of the historical Jesus in a dramatic
new direction as she highlights the context of ancient utopian
thought and utopian communities, drawing particularly on the Essene
community and Philo's discussion of the Therapeutae, and argues
that only ancient utopian thought accounts for the lack of explicit
political echoes in Jesus' message of the kingdom of God.
