Description: Readings of the Canonical Gospels have a particular place in history. The contributors of this book read against the grain of many traditional readings of the canonical Gospels. Many of the contributors read “from outside” by playing the gospels off a wide variety of secular texts, including recent film and literature. Thus, in “Jesus’s Two Fathers,” Aichele views the Lukan Christmas story eccentrically by reading it with China Miéville’s urban fantasy novel, “King Rat”. The result is a rather unorthodox understanding of the incarnation. In “Matthew 11:28 and Rests from Heavy Burden” Kreitzer traces a peculiar afterlife of one Christian image of salvation by moving from Matthew through Bunyan to Joffee’s “The Mission”. Jeffrey Staley’s target is the liberation of the story of the woman taken in adultery. To do so, he lumps that (already suspicious) “Johannine” story with “Liar, Liar” and moves from a rhetorical to an intertextual reading. Each of these juxtapositions renders their respective gospel (texts) newly seen precursors.
