But as Stephen Prothero argues in \u003ci\u003eAmerican Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, many of the most interesting appraisals of Jesus have emerged outside the churches: in music, film, and popular culture; and among Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and people of no religion at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDelve into this compelling chronicle as it explores how Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth, has been refashioned into distinctly American identities over the centuries. From his enlistment as a beacon of hope for abolitionists to his appropriation as a figurehead for Klansmen, the image of Jesus has been as mercurial as it is influential. In this diverse and conflicted scene, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Jesus \u003c\/i\u003estands as a testament to the peculiar fusion of the temporal and divine in contemporary America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEqual parts enlightening and entertaining, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond being simply a work of history. It's an intricate mirror, reflecting the American spirit while questioning the nation's socio-cultural fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Prothero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374529566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374529567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2004 pg. 30","brand":"Stephen Prothero","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761396609279,"sku":"9780374529567","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63675743-1a25-439e-b45f-9377bc451c40.jpg?v=1706681214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-jesus-stephen-prothero-9780374529567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
