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 text of the sayings is color-coded red, pink, gray or black, according to the consensus of the scholars reached. Robert W. Funk was the founder of Westar and a distinguished scholar. Roy W. Hoover taught courses in ancient Greek, biblical history and literature, social thought, and world religions. A Fellow of the Jesus Seminar, he wrote a number of the papers that served as the basis for the Seminar’s deliberations.
