Links: The Jesus Paradigm on Todd Bentley
Posted in Links and Quotes on August 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The Jesus Paradigm ran this just before the current news on Bentley made it to the press. It’s powerful, Jesus shaped and full of truth. Maybe one of the best posts of any kind I’ve read this year.
Links: Ben Myers on Jesus and His Parables
Posted in Links and Quotes on August 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The always excellent Faith and Theology blog points out the tendency to make Jesus’ parables more complicated and less life challenging.
And if you didn’t know, there is one book that all students of parables must own. I use it and it is peerless. Incredible contribution to Jesus’ studies: Klyne Snodgrass’s Stories With Intent.

I found this little reworking of some Tim Keller teaching on Religion vs Gospel at The Journey Church’s site, and it’s a wonderful, Jesus shaped piece of theology perfect for praying through, meditating on or sharing with others.

Thank God for Tim Keller. Ask the Spirit to press [...]

Brandon Rhodes at Jesus Manifesto does some great Jesus shaped thinking with his post Ghandi was wrong.
Mark Driscoll has a sermon series going on “Pray Like Jesus.” Driscoll isn’t always my favorite player on the team, but when he talks about Jesus he keeps things interesting and provocative.

Read: Why Christians Need A Stage Name by Brian Jones.
Brian Jones makes a proposal that made the rounds at the Boar’s Head Tavern a couple of years ago: Let’s stop using the label Christian to refer to ourselves. Brian’s nomination is that we say we are disciples and he gives some excellent reasons. One of [...]
Phyllis Tickle: A Crash Course in Jesus Studies
Posted in Links and Quotes on July 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Devotional writer Phyllis Tickle offers up a parable on the entirety of Jesus studies. It’s quite similar to the way I deal with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in a lecture I call “Something Happened.”

When Jesus Won’t Go Along for the Ride
Posted in Introduction, Links and Quotes on July 16, 2008 | 40 Comments »
Regular readers of this blog may have noticed a new sidebar feature: “Manifesto.” This feature will contain a quote pertinent to the Jesus shaped project. The current quote from Greg Boyd will certainly be hard to displace. It’s an expression of the energy and intention of what so many of us hope for in a [...]
Links: Michael Horton on the Absence of Christ
Posted in Links and Quotes on July 12, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Michael Horton has been one of the most consistently helpful spiritual guides in my life. (And interestingly, was one of the few people that, when I expressed my appreciation to him, didn’t make me feel like a drooling fanboy. Thanks, Michael, for understanding how it works.)
So you should read this excerpt: On the Absence of [...]
