The Savior Complex: How Jesus Became the World's Ultimate Influencer - Paperback
Description
by Be Scofield (Author)
The Savior Complex is a fresh, provocative look at Jesus and the Bible for the post-devotional age of doubt and deconstruction.
Told in seven "acts," the book places Jesus back inside the world that made him: a world of prophets, emperors, miracle workers, messiahs, myths, cult leaders, sacred branding, and imperial spectacle. Rather than treating Jesus as a figure floating above history, prominent cult reporter Be Scofield shows how he was shaped by the stories and power struggles of his time.
Through the lens of cult analysis, The Savior Complex examines how Jesus and the God of the Bible reproduce familiar patterns of control: obedience, fear, submission, purity, sacrifice, group identity, and salvation through dependence. Through marketing, branding, and cinema, the book reveals how Jesus became more than a religious figure. He became an image. A franchise. A story engine. The world's ultimate influencer.
