Quotes by Richard A. Horsley (?)

“But biblical and other ancient Near Eastern sources do not share Enlightenment theology of sophisticated intellectuals (ancient and modern).”
― Richard A Horsley, Jesus and the Powers: Conflict, Covenant, And The Hope Of The Poor

“Since September 11, 2001, however, we can no longer rest comfortably with such domesticated pictures of Jesus. We can no longer ignore the impact of Western imperialism on subordinated peoples and the ways in which peoples whose lives have been invaded sometimes react. The "coincidental" historical analogy is too disquieting, that is, that the Roman Empire had come to control the ancient Middle East, including Galilee and Judea, where Jesus operated.”
― Richard A. Horsley, Jesus and Empire: The Kingdom of God and the New World Disorder

“Finally, a principal reason for the lack of attention to “unclean spirits” and Jesus’ “acts of power” in the Gospel stories is surely the modern “scientific” frame of mind that developed in the wake of the Enlightenment reduction of reality to what was natural and comprehensible by reason.”
― Richard A Horsley, Jesus and the Powers: Conflict, Covenant, And The Hope Of The Poor
