    Book description

    The New Cambridge Companion to Jesus serves as the most up to date guide and resource for understanding Jesus' multifaceted legacy, enduring impact over time and space, and relevance in today's world. Integrating textual, historical, theological, and cultural perspectives, the essays, specially commissioned for this volume, also offer a fresh and diverse overview of Jesus' significance in contemporary global contexts. Key features include insights into Jesus' life and teachings, his role in different religious traditions, and his influence on art, music, and global cultures. The volume also addresses contemporary issues of poverty, race, and power dynamics, making it especially relevant for today's readers. The Companion offers a diversity of perspectives from which to approach the unique identity and importance of Jesus beyond the 2020s, whether in relation to Christianity's cultural and existential crises in the Americas, its precipitous decline in Western Europe, or its unprecedented growth and proliferation in Africa and Asia.

    Reviews

    ‘Recommended.’

    J. Sienkiewicz Source: CHOICE

    ‘The volume represents a valuable contribution to the New Cambridge Companions series, and contains many important chapters, reflecting areas of current scholarship … it provides a solid overview and a good grounding in many topics relating to Jesus, and it is heartening to see how the conversation has progressed in the last twenty-five years.’

    Francis Cousins Source: Irish Theological Quarterly
