| Zusammenfassung: | Introduction: voice print -- The invisible realm -- A trust ethic -- Celebration -- Outsiders & outcasts -- Transcending tribalism -- Kinship -- Flora & fauna -- Values are counterintuitive -- New symbols parody the old -- Subverting the system -- No room for demons -- Rewards are intrinsic -- Humor & humility -- The end of brokered religion -- The unkingdom of the ungod -- The domain of God as mythic destination -- The cross as symbol of integrity -- Conclusion: an alternative reality -- Appendix 1: ask, seek, knock -- Appendix 2: the Samaritan -- Appendix 3: database. "Jesus saw the extraordinary in the ordinary. His extraordinary vision comes to us in bits and pieces, in random stunning insights, embedded in the everyday language of his parables, aphorisms, and dialogues. In A Credible Jesus, Robert Funk sorts and assembles these fragments and examines ways in which the vision they preserve can serve twenty-first century people searching for meaning in a very different world than the one Jesus inhabited. The results are both unsettling and reassuring."--Jacket |
