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.

John Kloppenborg examines how ancient community associations functioned, looking at the different dynamics and settings, and compares the rise of Christ communities in the first two centuries to this broader cultural context. This is a truly fascinating and detailed presentation that will enlighten and enhance discussion about the rise of Christianity before there was Christianity.
