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 is a PDF text version of “The Prospect of a New Humanity.” Roy Hoover offers rare clarity in Pauline studies as he gets to the heart of what had become a rather thorny problem in Pauline scholarship. Through a series of critical distinctions, Hoover persuasively argues that Paul had come to a fundamental re-orientation based on a breakthrough experience that changed everything he regarded. As such, Hoover shows that Paul’s understanding reflected a transformative moment, from which there was no return.
