"God and Empire" by John Dominic Crossan explores the revolutionary teachings of Jesus against the backdrop of the Roman Empire. Crossan argues that Jesus subverts hierarchical power structures, advocating for radical justice and peace. The book discusses themes of land, economy, violence, and justice, revealing how these elements are intertwined in biblical narratives. Crossan contrasts the oppressive Roman military occupation with the non-violent Kingdom of God that Jesus preached, emphasizing equality and moral knowledge. Ultimately, he challenges Christians to choose between a God of escalatory violence or a Jesus of nonviolent resistance.

Very Good hardcover with as nice dust jacket. Book is as new but has small remainder mark. First Edition.
