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 Seminar on God and the Human Future hosts a discussion on "arboreal" theology - the life of trees with spiritual contemplation - and "Black Life Matter" - a philosophical consideration of "care" and "sitting with" in the midst of oppression and violence. Thomas Arentzen and Biko Mandela Gray offer two moving presentations, with questions and comments from other seminar scholars, on vital questions related to the human future.
