Recensioner i media

“A particular strength of the volume is its determinedly dialogical rather than oppositional approach across its contributions. … This volume is impressive in its inclusion of insights from disability studies, Chartism … and affect theory in its exploration of Christ in the lived religion of its nineteenth-century subjects. By avoiding issues raised by Higher Criticism and the Quest for the historical Jesus … it breaks new ground.”(Alison Jack, Victorian Studies, Vol. 65 (2), 2023)
