Far too few beyond the theological academy may recognize the insight or importance of the work of Jonathan R. Wilson, which has charted a way for Christian faithfulness in the midst of cultural fragmentation. Yet if this volume and these contributors are any indication of the significance of his influence as a pastor, teacher, and scholar, then this book and his work surely deserve to be taken very seriously. --Curtis W. Freeman, Duke Divinity School Whenever I think of Jonathan Wilson, many descriptors come to mind--scholar, teacher, pastor. But the word that dwarfs all of them is a humble and heartfelt one: friend. All the lectures, articles, sermons, and books that he's shared over the years are ultimately an act of friendship--a lifetime offering of the caring and affection he holds for others, for creation, and for God. No contemporary theologian embodies such deep mutuality and companionship through their work. --Diana Butler Bass, author of Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence
