This collection of essays by Robert Funk delves into the contributions of notable artists and intellectuals, including Kafka, Beckett, Henry Miller, Castaneda, Fowles, and Thoreau, to illuminate the true successors of Jesus. In the section titled 'Voices of Silence,' Funk examines the interplay between language and contemporary reality. He ultimately addresses the pivotal theological question of whether individuals can identify a genuine world to which they can fully commit, offering twenty-one propositions on theology in response.

Springing from their groundbreaking work in "Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire," Rita Nakashima Brock and Rebecca Parker explore their research on early Christianity's ethics of love for this world. They discuss the interdependence of all life and how a transformed Christianity, based on its own history, can response constructively to the crisis of global climate change.
