The Northern Irish Jesus……

 

The northern Irish Jesus: warrior or wimp? Images of Jesus often suggest an over-feminised weakling or the twin brother of Arnold Schwarzenegger. A look at how peace-building in northern Ireland reveals that Jesus is neither.

Gareth Higgins is an academic, activist, writer and film-maker. He has written widely on northern Ireland in particular and movies in general, and his book ‘How Movies Helped Save My Soul’ has become a Greenbelt favourite.
