The scholars who mapped and led the uniquely British quest for the historical Jesus in the first half of the twentieth century were active participants in efforts to replace the popular image of \"Jesus in a white nightie\" with a stronger figure, and so, they hoped, to preserve Britain's Christian identity. They failed. By exploring that failure, and more broadly, by examining the relations and exchanges between popular, artistic, and scholarly portrayals of Jesus, this book highlights the continuity and the conservatism of Britain's popular Christianity through a century of religious and cultural transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploring depictions of Jesus from over more than one hundred years, this book is a crucial resource for scholars of British Christianity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meredith Veldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032147962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032147963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d","brand":"Meredith Veldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075486478591,"sku":"9781032147963","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f37d14ef-09d2-4b92-91c2-e0f85fc0cecb.jpg?v=1685459709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-british-jesus-1850-1970-meredith-veldman-9781032147963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
