Reimagine Jesus: Gospel for the 21st Century

POPE FRANCIS, Leader of the Catholic Church, Has Called for a “Paradigm Shift” in Theology.
Catholic theology must make widespread engagement with contemporary science, culture, and people’s lived experience as an essential starting point.  Citing the need to deal with “profound cultural transformations,” Pope Francis wrote that Catholic theology must experience a “courageous cultural revolution” in order to become a “fundamentally contextual theology.” Guided by Christ’s incarnation into time and space, this approach to theology must be capable of reading and interpreting the Gospel in the conditions in which men and women live daily, in different geographical, social, and cultural environments." 

REIMAGINE JESUS-Gospel for the 21st Century...Presents Exactly What Pope Francis Has Requested! 
Artist Lane Carl has provided a provocative cover that symbolizes a traditional/modern motif. This "reimagined" gospel offers a bridge of understanding for readers of all backgrounds--conservative, moderate, or liberal. The narrative follows the traditional gospel story but adds a context that is theological, scientific, and relevant to the world of 2025. The depth of characterization and the intricate plot design cause this gospel to read like a novel of mystery and suspense. Above all else, REIMAGINE JESUS is based upon in-depth research and scholarship. (A free, PDF companion guide is available via an email request: reimaginejesus@gmail.com.) You will not be able to put this book down! It is a story of courage and love. It presents Jesus in a bold drama that parallels the world we live in today.  Best of all, it serves as a courageous cultural revolution and a masterful reconciliation between the world of theology and science. 

REIMAGINE JESUS is presented by the RE-IMAGINE JESUS FOUNDATION and is available in paperback or Kindle format via Amazon.com
