...Eternal Life. Webber and Rice fight the traditional characterization by being anti-traditional: they put Jesus (rather uncertainly) into the role of a mass-culture hero, make Judas a sort of cautious road-manager, cast Mary Magdalene as a groupie in love with Christ, and Simon Zelotes as a politico who wants to co-opt Christ into a revolution against the Roman occupation.

But if the sovereignty of the state is limited too sharply, if all political groups can move out of the existing politico-legal framework, then the state will lack the power to intervene on behalf of the oppressed. The civil rights progress since 1957 has come through purposeful state coercion. While letting group pluralism run amok, Walzer should have affirmed the duties of power-the responsibility of the state to preserve itself...
