This book is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that explores the variety of
ways in which the interface between understanding the figure of Christ, the
place of the cross, and the contours of lived experience, was articulated through
the long nineteenth century. Collectively, the chapters respond to the
theological turn in postmodern thought by asking vital questions about the way
in which representations of Christ shape understandings of personhood and of
the divine.

Rezensionen
"A particular strength of the volume is its determinedly dialogical rather than oppositional approach across its contributions. ... This volume is impressive in its inclusion of insights from disability studies, Chartism ... and affect theory in its exploration of Christ in the lived religion of its nineteenth-century subjects. By avoiding issues raised by Higher Criticism and the Quest for the historical Jesus ... it breaks new ground."(Alison Jack, Victorian Studies, Vol. 65 (2), 2023)
