Summer reading recommendation by David Martin Jones: “Dusenbury’s work on the origins of Christianity, the life of Christ and its interpretation by his disciples is original and pathbreaking. He brings a profound knowledge of the gospels and their exegesis, to an original, insightful and highly provocative view of the political life of Jesus. The emphasis is rightly on the political context of the life, its relevance to western self-understanding and its enduring importance to our deracinated and anxiously secular times. The Life offers a brilliant counterpoint to Dusenbury’s earlier and equally important work on The Innocence of Pontius Pilate.”
