Maybe I just enjoy feminist Christianity too much - she calls it naive - but I understand Jesus as being not terribly interested in affirming his masculinity because he wasn't that kind of guy. Rome was strong and masculine and currently taking over the world; Jesus was passively resisting the domination system and refusing to play their game. This illustrates a sort of confidence and strength of its own, but I felt like Conway could have better acknowledged that Jesus' campaign of submission and anti-politics may be construed as un-masculine. This book had an interesting premise, but I feel like maybe trying to associate Jesus too closely with the social values of Rome (except in contrast to them) is beginning from a false premise.½
