The Moxnes(s) Monster

Tyler Anderson November 8, 2016 11/8 A Queer Portrait of Jesus (Moxnes), FaiThgirLz (Group 4)

Moxnes mentions that it is not enough to place Jesus in his time, but we must also attempt to place Jesus in his ‘place’. He also labels Jesus as queer. Queer is not specific to sexuality. Queer describes an atypical character that opposes the social norm.
