Overview

""Who do you say I am?"" Jesus asked two thousand years ago. How would people answer that question today? What does it mean to encounter Jesus in the twenty-first century? In this time of social media, gender fluidity, electric cars, climate crisis, economic disparity, colonialism, and white supremacy, not to mention the threat of nuclear warfare and a global poverty rate of 10 percent, how can the teachings of a first-century itinerant carpenter and preacher, who talked about people loving their enemies, turning the other cheek, and taking care of the poor, have any meaning or influence? Written for Christians seeking a contemporary vision of Jesus, this collection of poems and personal essays will challenge, provoke, and inspire readers to consider how Jesus and his teachings are even more relevant--and necessary--in the world today.
