A Credible Jesus by Robert W. Funk

A Credible Jesus

Fragments of a Vision

Robert W. Funk

cover 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.

"Bob Funk has spent his life amidst the language of Jesus, his aphorisms and parables, his responses and comments, his humor and challenge. That language has come down to us as "Fragments of a Vision" but that is more appropriate than unfortunate. For, as this book argues, they envision God's domain as another world that overturns the normalcy of our everyday one and that we can catch only in glimpses and live only in moments."— John Dominic Crossan
