I read these essays with interest. While Jesus the Philosopher was perhaps a cute, fluffy, humourous piece of comedy, it actually made me feel very uncomfortable. The Life out of Death essay, unfortunately, was unreadable. I am directionally challenged when I meet all those dashes. It means the writer is grappling for – um, truth—and I wish I could help the writer—but if I don’t know what is TRUTH—I cannot. The Jesus the Questioner essay, although unpolished, was a beautiful piece of truth that spoke directly to my heart. This essay addressed modern day approaches to truth, what truth is, and how it is lived out. Thank you, writer, as I needed that today.
