{"product_id":"i-judge-no-one-david-lloyd-dusenbury-9780197690512","title":"I Judge No One: A Political Life of Jesus","description":"Why was Jesus, who said \"I judge no one,\" put to death for a political crime? Of course, this is a historical question--but it is not only historical. Jesus's life became a philosophical theme in the first centuries of our era, when \"pagan\" and Christian philosophers clashed over the meaning of his sayings and the significance of his death. Modern philosophers, too, such as Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche, have tried to retrace the arc of Jesus's life and death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Judge No One\u003c\/em\u003e is a philosophical reading of the four memoirs, or \"gospels,\" that were fashioned by early Christ-believers and collected in the New Testament. It offers original ways of seeing a deeply enigmatic figure who calls himself the Son of Man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Lloyd Dusenbury suggests that Jesus offered his contemporaries a scandalous double claim. First, that human judgements are pervasive and deceptive; and second, that even divine laws can only be fulfilled in the human experience of love. Though his life led inexorably to a grim political death, what Jesus's sayings revealed--and still reveal--is that our highest desires lie beyond the political.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lloyd Dusenbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197690513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197690512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 5.87w x 1.24d","brand":"David Lloyd Dusenbury","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074719150335,"sku":"9780197690512","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fec0f2f-2bf7-48e3-bfa4-9dfab2dddedb.jpg?v=1685455376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-judge-no-one-david-lloyd-dusenbury-9780197690512","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
