The Gospel in the Dock: Is the Gospel of Jesus Christ Good for the Church, Humanity, and the World?
The Gospel in the Dock presents a serious romp through the mysteries of God, life and humanity, as they are disclosed by the gospel of Jesus. The reader begins as a juror in a satirical trial of the gospel, and then travels back in time to observe the perfect storm of Christ’s life and death to discover why Jesus’s gospel and way of faith appear as foolishness to human reason. The reader travels even further back to observe the biblical characters Cain and Jonah who by their “unfaith” personified secular and religious ways of life in the “will to power.” This adventurous journey through time and place provides a new look at the old gospel, sitting “in the dock” where Adam and Eve first placed it.
But this is no journey through the past for history’s sake. For we also discover how the human community is built either by faith or the will to power, bringing human flourishing or languishing. Finally, an excursion into the perennial nature and mysteries of human existence, in an “Unscientific Exegetical Postscript,” reveals that all people of all time continually wrestle with God and others, power and faith, to obtain the costly blessing of life.
