| Abstract | "This book of biblical scholarship explores the passion story in its four very distinct Gospel versions alongside its musical appropriation by Johann Sebastian Bach's in his oratorio. It probes the founding myth of the Christian West as not merely the sacrifice of a god (by a god), but also the abandonment of a son by a father, due to a creation gone awry that left humanity to fend on its own"-- Provided by publisher. |
