Professors James Crossley and Robert J.
Myles join Breht to discuss their fascinating work
"Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict" put out by Zero Book.
Together, they discuss their application of historical materalism
to the life of Jesus, the difficulty of studying and sourcing the
ancient past, the gospels and what they offer (as well as how they
differ from one another), the mode of production and major classes
of Jesus' era, John the Baptist and his ideological influence on
the Jesus Movement, Jewish Millenarianism, Jesus' crucifiction, the
Jesus Movement after Jesus' execution (and purported resurrection),
and much more!
