Our nation's changing images of Jesus, Stephen Prothero contends, are a kind of looking class into the national character. Even as most Christian believers cleave to a traditional faith, other people give Jesus a leading role as folk hero, pitchman, and countercultural icon. And so it has been since the nation's founding--from Thomas Jefferson, who took scissors to his New Testament to sort out true from false Jesus material; to the Jews, Buddhists and Muslims who fit Jesus into their own traditions; to the people who adapt Jesus for stage and screen and the Holy Land theme park. American Jesus is "a lively, illuminating and accessible survey that takes us into unexpected corners of our shared religious heritage" (Dan Cryer, Newsday). </div> 140856 2003 American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon total:75|5:15|4:35|3:21|2:3|1:1| 75 285 154 12 145960 0374529566 9780374529567 74 12 American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172177186m/145960.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/145960.American_Jesus_How_the_Son_of_God_Became_a_National_Icon 5 2 false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 08:33:50 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 13 19:51:32 -0700 2008
