Overview"Was the stripping and exposure of Jesus a form of sexual abuse? If so, why does such a reading of Jesus’ suffering matter? The combined impact of the #MeToo movement and a further wave of global revelations on church sexual abuse have given renewed significance to recent work naming Jesus as a victim of sexual abuse. Timely and provocative ""When did we see you naked?"" presents the arguments for reading Christ as an abuse victim, as well as exploring how the position might be critiqued, and what implications and applications it might offer to the Church."

The depth and seriousness of the contributions, the mix of theological and personal reflection, and the excitingly unpredictable variety of response, points to the revelatory quality of what is being discussed. It is a tribute to an idea whose time has come. -- Linda Woodhead This volume takes forward a new conversation on the crucified Jesus-a political prisoner sentenced to death by the powers that be and subjected to sexual abuse during the process of captivity and execution. It offers a highly creative and sophisticated enquiry that draws on social and cultural contexts and perspectives from throughout the world. Altogether an excellent example of ideological criticism today. -- Prof. Dr. Fernando F. Segovia The issues around the suffering of Jesus, its meaning and its implications for contemporary church practices are complex, difficult and vitally important. There are certain aspects of Jesus's suffering that are rarely talked about, partly because sometimes they are not noticed, and partly because when they are noticed they are deeply uncomfortable. This book brings together an important group of scholars who have noticed something that we should all pay attention to. This book is an important contribution to a vital area of theology and Christian practice. -- Prof John Swinton This remarkable collection of essays reveals how profoundly the authors have been affected by the idea of Jesus as a victim of sexual abuse.
