A Leading Gospel

“It isn’t simply that the gospel of Jesus offers us a religious option, which can outdo other religious options, that can fill more effectively the slot labeled religion on a cultural and social smorgasbord. The Gospel of Jesus points us and indeed it urges us to be at the leading edge of the whole culture, articulating in story and music and art and philosophy and education and poetry and politics and theology a worldview which will mount the historically rooted Christian challenge to both modernity and post-modernity, leading the way into the post-postmodern world with joy, and humour and gentleness and good judgment and true wisdom…And if the Gospel of Jesus is not the key to this task, then what is?”
