Abstract "What follows is the same cover description that I already composed for the Author Questionnaire form, for which the specified length was 200-350 words. That description, copied below, comes to 271 words. If it's simply too long for your purposes (but I hope it won't be), please remove the final two sentences ("The book also conducts...," etc.), which will reduce the length to 196 words. What does Jesus say and what does Jesus do within the narrative worlds of the New Testament gospels that, through the ages, enabled innumerable gory horrors and immense systemic violences to be perpetrated with his presumed permission? That is the question driving this book. Its compound title, Jesusviolence, simultaneously denotes, first, the violences inflicted on the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; second, the violences enacted by the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; and third, certain of the violences enacted in Jesus's name in our histories and worlds"-- Provided by publisher.
