Description
Summary:This article explores the integration of Marxism into the Gospel narratives of the Christian Bible in Zhu Weizhi's Jesus the Proletarian (1950). It argues that Zhu in this Chinese Life of Jesus refashioned a Gospel according to Marxism, with a proletarian Jesus at its center, by creatively appropriating a wealth of global sources regarding historical Jesus and primitive Christianity. Zhu's rewriting of Jesus can be appreciated as a precursor to the later Latin American liberation Christology.
