| Σύνοψη: | In the wake of Martin Scorsese's film adaption of the controversial novel The Last Temptation of Christ by the Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis, Kazantzakis's work received a flurry of attention, but focused on The Last Temptation. The figure of Christ, however, is central to Kazantzakis's larger literary oeuvre, and a rounded picture of Kazantzakis's fictional Christology requires tending to these works. This article develops the central themes of the tacit Christology informing Kazantzakis's Christ Recrucified: crucifixion as an emblem of spiritual-moral struggle; motifs of adoptionism and exemplarism; spring/Easter as the agitation of matter to transubstantiate; the defiant, war-like "face" of Christ; and Christ's affinity to the broader pantheon of Greek gods and fertility myths. |
