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.

This lecture pictures the many ways that gender bending and testing gender boundaries helped resist Roman violence and develop new kinds of communities. It surveys the different dimensions of creativity and patriarchy within Anointed communities, Jesus movements, and wisdom communities during the first two hundred years of the common era. This lecture challenges later masculine power conceptions and displays different kinds of women’s leadership and vulnerable men. It concerns mainly chapters Seven and Eight of After Jesus before Christianity. Featuring Erin Vearncombe and Celene Lillie.
