Inventing the Passion - A Chat with Arthur Dewey on the Remembrance of Jesus' Death...

Quixotic Musings

This conversation opens considering the surprising dearth of imagery around the death of Jesus until the late fourth century, a circumstance which clues one into questions of how, otherwise, is the death of Jesus remembered and understood for early Christianity: this segues into reflections of text, historicity, facticity, myth and imagination. The chat concludes, or, perhaps better, adjourns upon the profound subversiveness of the Gospel's message so far as the ways of the world are concerned.
