Recenzii
Displaying extraordinary literary sensibilities, Jensen illumines how martyrs help us better understand why and how our lives as Christians require the embodiment of narrative. His analysis of Murder in the Cathedral should be required reading for all Christians.
A remarkable first book from an Australian scholar of great promise, offering a compelling account of the relation of Christian identity and martyrdom.
To both philosophers of narrative identity and devotees of the cult of self-fulfillment, nothing is as counter-intuitive as martyrdom. Jensen here turns conventional wisdom on its head, arguing that martyrdom is not a surrendering (or making) of one's identity but an active reception of one's being in Christ. The unexamined life may not be worth living (Socrates), but the untested Christian life is a veritable contradiction in terms. In a secular age of victims and victors, where many feel the burden of self-invention while others await Godot, Jensen urges Christians to communicate their faith in divine providence by resisting the temptation to follow ways that lead to worldly security, power, and status, and instead follow the way of Jesus Christ. Martyrdom - bearing witness to the gospel - is a costly communicative act that is not easily dismissed, or refuted. This is a beautifully conceived and practically challenging work from which readers will not quickly recover.
This rich and intricate book by Michael Jenson deserves a wider audience than I fear it may attract. Clearly the outworking of an impressive doctoral thesis... it will reward the careful reader with challenging insights into what it means to be a Christian... Erudite and compelling, Jensen has written a tour-de-force on the nature of the Christian self... Any reader should be prepared to wrestle with themselves.
Jensen's book is a significant contribution to the recent theological literature on Christian martyrdom. Through his interpretation of scripture (the extent to which he scripturally argues for a martyrial vision of Christian selfhood is most impressive), a theological reading of the early Christian martyriological tradition, and his ingenious use and insightful reading of Eliot's play, Jensen successfully retrieves the discourse of martyrdom for an account of Christian selfhood.
...The book is an important reminder that martyrdom is not a political weapon but is a critical component of the Christian tradition.
The way in which Jensen brings together philosophers, theologians, novelists and playwrights to explore the self in relation to martyrdom is lucid, engaging and highly stimulating.
