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.

Edited by Roy W. Hoover. Featuring Marcus J. Borg, Kathleen E. Corley, John Dominic Crossan, Arthur J. Dewey, Robert T. Fortna, Robert W. Funk, Charles W. Hedrick, Roy W. Hoover, Lane C. McGaughy, Stephen J. Patterson, James M. Robinson, Bernard Brandon Scott, Mahlon H. Smith, Hal Taussig Can the authentic words and deeds of Jesus identified by the Jesus Seminar furnish a sufficient basis for a credible profile of the Jesus of history? That is the challenge faced by the contributors to this volume. Their efforts have resulted in a unique collection of studied impressions of Jesus. Here readers will see not Jesus the icon of myth and creed, but a provocative young man of first-century Palestine whose vision and determination to live the vision gave birth to a new form of faith and changed the course of history.
