The Story of the Transformation of Jesus from Divinity to CelebrityThe United States (it is often pointed out) is one of the most religious countries on earth, and most Americans belong to one Christian church or another. But as Stephen Prothero argues in American Jesus, 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.
Popular revisions of Jesus are nothing new: Thomas Jefferson famously took scissors to the New Testament to produce a Jesus he could call his own. In Prothero's incisive chronicle, the emergence of a cult of Jesus--as folk hero and commercial icon--is America's most distinctive contribution to Western religion. Prothero describes how Jesus was enlisted by abolitionists and Klansmen, by Teddy Roosevelt and Marcus Garvey. He explains how, in our own time, the proliferation of Jesus' image on Broadway stages and bumper stickers, on the cover of Time and on the Internet, in a Holy Land theme park and on a hot-air balloon, expresses the strange mix of the secular and the sacred in contemporary America.
American Jesus is a lively and often witty work of history. As an account of the ways Americans have cast the carpenter from Nazareth in their own image, it is also an examination, through the looking glass, of the American character. Third day move 2010 download gratis.
Stephen Prothero Religious Literacy Quiz
Dr. Prothero has written a boring book in the way that thoughtful and well-reasoned ideas tend to be. His voice rises wisely ( and quite often humurously) above the din of zealotry. What, he asks in writing this book, is the most useful way to engage with something that almost everyone on earth uses to some extent to get through this thing we call life? He then offers in answer to his own question a series of brief, yet informative glimpses at each of the world's 'greatest' religions along very pragmatic, very human lines.
To read'God Is Not One' is to take a sane step back and to get to know the members of our 'religious family' in a sympathetic, albeit even-handed light.
