Imagining Jesus in His Own Culture
Every disciple imagines Jesus; reading the Gospels we form images of him and of his surroundings. This has been constant practice for those who desire to know him more clearly. We, however, borrow stuff--from stained glass windows, book illustrations, and the like--which is always familiar to us, but which reflects our, not his, culture.

Über den Autor
Jerome Neyrey, a Jesuit priest, focused his scholarship on the New Testament, but in terms of its distinctive culture. Hence he studied ancient rhetoric and read lots of anthropology. His favorite mantra, in other words, was his GPS for the letters of Paul and the Gospels. Despite his Yale PhD, he continued his schooling, but in association with like-minded comrades within the Context Group. His articles appear in scholarly journals, and leading presses have published his books.
