In The Massacre of the Innocents: Studies in the Cultural Afterlife
of a Gospel Scene, Warren Carter examines some fifty instances of
the interpretation of the Matthean "Massacre of the Innocents"
(Matt 2:16-18). He emphasizes the agency of interpreters, who in
their particular contexts and media, "think with" the shocking
Matthean scene to address the often-tragic circumstances of their
audiences. He argues throughout that the structure of the Gospel
scene facilitates this "thinking with." The scene is structured as
a triad of power relations with a tyrant (Herod), victims (infants
and parents), and violent means of tyranny (the massacre).
Interpreters use this triad of power relations to identify
tyrant/s, victims, and means of tyranny in their own situations.
Carter illustrates the use of this triad of power relations across
two millennia, in numerous socio-political contexts, and media as
diverse as sermons, images, poems and hymns, dramas and festivals,
films, novels, Christmas carols, and Children's Bibles.
