"The Christ archetype as the protagonist in the tragic drama of learning through suffering has been restored to the awareness of the modern writer, reader, and critic by contemporary social disillusion. Whether the pattern of the sacrificial hero is approached anthropologically from pre- and non-Christian cultures and fertility rites, psychologically via Jung or Freud and the warfare of the generations, socio-economically via Marxism, ex-Marxism, and Christian socialism in terms of dying and revitalized societies, or metaphysically and theologically via death and resurrection, this study by Edwin Moseley argues that the pattern is found to be substantially present in the awareness of Modern man...(this book) explores the phenomenon of the persistently recurring Christ image and places it in the changing climate from generation to generation in our times. The result is a work that is as much social and intellectual history as it is literary criticism." Condition: Book is complete and intact with solid binding. Cover and interior pages are in very good to fine condition. Dust jacket is very good with some edge wear.
