Softcover. Zustand: Fine. This book traces Burton Mack's intellectual evolution, from a creative analyst of ancient texts, to a scholar searching for the motives and interests of Jesus's followers who composed those texts, and for the social logic of "the Christian myths" they created. Mack rejects depictions of Jesus that have emerged from the quest for the "historical Jesus"--peasant teacher, revolutionary leader, mystical visionary or miracle-working prophet--on the grounds that they are based on a priori assumptions about Jesus, and are therefore contradictory. In addition, he argues, these portrayals are untrue to the many images of Jesus produced by the early Christians. Using systematic analysis, Mack seeks to describe and understand the cultural and anthropological influences on the conception and adoption of Christian myths and rituals. 1.16.

Original brochure. Zustand: Gut. 237 p. Slightly gaping, otherwise good and very clean. - From the Prolog: All peoples tell stories about their past that set the stage for their own time and place in a larger world. This world expands the horizons of memory and imagination beyond the borders of their contemporary world and becomes populated with images, agents, and events that account for the environment, set precedents for social relations and practices, and intrude upon the daily round in odd and surprising ways. These agents and images usually have some features that are recognizably human, but are frequently combinations of figures that do not normally appear in the real world and they can also be grotesque. Most peoples have not found it necessary or even interesting to reflect on the "truth" of their stories or grade them according to their degree of fantasy as has been the case in modern Western societies. When asked about such things by modern ethnographers, the answers have been a smile and a frown. As a story-teller for the Hopi indians of the southwestern United States said, when asked how he knew their stories were true, "Because they are told." - Contents: PROLOG -- Part one: Setting Aside the Gospels -- The Historical Jesus Hoopla -- The Case for a Cynic-like Jesus -- On Redescribing Christian Origins -- Part two: Constructing a Social Theory -- Explaining Religion: A Theory of Social Interests -- Explaining Christian Mythmaking: A Theory of Social Logic -- Part three: Tracing the Logic and Legacy -- Innocence, Power, and Purity in the Christian Imagination -- Christ and the Creation of a Monocratic Culture -- The Christian Myth and the Christian Nation -- Epilog -- Annex: The Christian Origins Project -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- REFERENCES.
