DESCRIPTION:Why was Jesus\, who said ‘I judge no one’\, put to death f
 or a political crime? Of course\, this is a historical question—but it i
 s not only historical. Jesus’s life became a philosophical theme in the 
 first centuries of our era\, when ‘pagan’ and Christian philosophers c
 lashed over the meaning of his sayings and the significance of his death. 
 Modern philosophers\, too\, such as Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche\
 , have tried to retrace the arc of Jesus’s life and death.\n\nI Judge No
  One is a philosophical reading of the four memoirs\, or ‘gospels’\, t
 hat were fashioned by early Christ-believers and collected in the New Test
 ament. It offers original ways of seeing a deeply enigmatic figure who cal
 ls himself the Son of Man.\n\nDavid Lloyd Dusenbury suggests that Jesus of
 fered his contemporaries a scandalous double claim. First\, that human jud
 gements are pervasive and deceptive\; and second\, that even divine laws c
 an only be fulfilled in the human experience of love. Though his life led 
 inexorably to a grim political death\, what Jesus’s sayings revealed—a
 nd still reveal—is that our highest desires lie beyond the political.\nS
