The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the degree to which the presentation of Jesus in the Gospels and the presentation of the emperor fit within the ideological framework of kingship. This study contends that presentations of both Jesus and the emperor employ ideological conceptions derived from prevailing understandings of kingship. The presentations of both the emperor and Jesus would have points of overlap and contestation on account of their varying adaptations of a common framework. The study concludes that the Gospels fit within the larger framework of kingship.Chapter One includes a survey of the most relevant literature focusing on the relationship between the Gospels and the Roman Empire. One finding in this part was that though the Gospels demonstrate some interest in Rome, focusing on Rome too closely overemphasizes the relationship. The Gospels are not locked into a singular antiimperial stance, and Jesus is not simply a counter imperial figure. In Chapter Two, a survey is given of two studies of ancient kingship and demonstrate how that they highlight sets of common features among ancient writings on kingship. Applying insights from Michael Freeden' s analysis of ideological morphology, the morphological structure of ancient kingship is shown to have consisted of a conceptual linking of kingship to an extra-human origin of the social system, often posited as a divine origin, and to notions of stability/order. This link allowed for wide and diverse range of concepts to fit adjacent to the core concepts. In Chapter Three, the ideological framework underlying the presentations of kings and emperors in ancient biographies by Plutarch, Philo, and Suetonius is presented and evaluated. In Chapters Four, Five, Six, and Seven the ideological framework underlying the Gospels is examined and compared with the ancient biographies. The presentation of the key figure is traced, with a discussion of how the presentation fits the ideological framework. The overall finding is that the presentation of Jesus more closely fits the broad ideological framework of kingship than an alternative or opposing framework.
