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.

Hal Taussig, Jarmo Tarkki (via Zoom), and Robin Meyers discuss the future of religion. Taussig reviews "The Thunder, Perfect Mind"; Meyers discusses the cultural acceptance of lying; and Tarkki's asks, mediated by Zoom, what is religion? The program is hosted by Celene Lillie.
