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.

The Acts of Jesus by Robert W. Funk and the Jesus Seminar follows the groundbreaking bestseller, The Five Gospels. Using the same color-coding technique, this volume assesses the authenticity of events in the gospels. For more than ten years, the Jesus Seminar researched and debated the life and death of the historical Jesus. The Seminar concluded that the Jesus of history was very different from the icon of traditional Christianity. This book raises startling questions about what Jesus did. Did he walk on water, feed the multitude, change water into wine, and raise Lazarus from the dead? Why was he executed? Did he rise from the dead? The Acts of Jesus is out of print and difficult to find. "Buy Now" will take you to Amazon. com.
