What does it mean to be called human? How does this affect or effect what it means to be called divine? This book responds to these questions in intertwined explorations of the passionate trials of Antigone and Jesus. Impelled by her love of the impossible, Antigone crosses uncrossable boundaries, confounds distinctions of nature and culture, and unearths and critiques the sexism implicit in humanism.The mode of humanity she develops offers a new way of considering Jesus.
