Review and Reflection on “God and Empire” by John Dominic Crossan
6 min readJun 12, 2024
John Dominic Crossan is a person within Christianity that elicits a strong reaction from some folks because of his arguments about Jesus. I generally try not to read book that are only going to confirm what I already believe, but rather, I like to read books that cause me to question my beliefs, explore them, argue with the author, do reflection, and come away with a fresh perspective. I appreciate an author that has caused me to do this type of inner work. Crossan has certainly done that.
