Another Christ: Re-envisioning ministry

Another Christ dares clergy to be subversive in their prophetic and countercultural witness, following in the footsteps of Jesus who was gutsy, provocative, feisty and forever breaking out of boxes and titles. The author explores how the first-century setting of Jesus reveals his identity as builder hermit, rebel, mystic, reveller, jester, iconoclast, revealer and enigma; liberator, traveller, mentor, brother and trail-blazer. The volume powerfully conveys how these images can inform the practice and spirituality of leadership today, and includes penetrating questions for further reflection.Andrew D.
