{"product_id":"jesus-utopia-mary-ann-beavis-9780800635626","title":"Jesus \u0026 Utopia: Looking for the Kingdom of God in the Roman World","description":"Scholarship on the historical Jesus and, now, on the \"Jesus movement\" generally divides into separate camps around two sticky questions: was Jesus an apocalyptic prophet and was the movement around him political, that is nationalistic or revolutionary? Mary Ann Beavis moves the study of the historical Jesus in a dramatic new direction as she highlights the context of ancient utopian thought and utopian communities, drawing particularly on the Essene community and Philo's discussion of the Therapeutae, and argues that only ancient utopian thought accounts for the lack of explicit political echoes in Jesus' message of the kingdom of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Ann Beavis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800635620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800635626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.10w x 0.52d","brand":"Mary Ann Beavis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926095954175,"sku":"9780800635626","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5e6110d5-b7ca-43c2-b373-460d75c5216b.jpg?v=1681081174","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-utopia-mary-ann-beavis-9780800635626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
