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.

Christian Faith at the Crossroads Christian Faith at the Crossroads takes readers on a carefully guided tour of four hundred years of modern religious history. Lloyd Geering has crafted illuminating cameo sketches of the impact of dozens of thinkers and movements on the evolution of the Christian faith following the Renaissance and Reformation. He traces the influence of the empirical sciences on religion beginning with Copernicus and Galileo; he analyzes the effect of the rise of sociology, and assesses the revolution in psychology initiated by Freud and Jung. He shows how historical self-consciousness has altered our sense of the past. For those who want to participate in the current debate about the future of the faith, it is an indispensable guide. Reprint of Faith's New Age (1980).
