Every Palm Sunday the wider church celebrates Jesus, the political revolutionary, who was hailed the rightful King of Israel by a... children's choir. From its inception the Jesus Movement began to weild social influence from a position of political powerlessness. There was nothing more revolutionary in the ancient world than for Paul to assert that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. It's this impulse that led the preacher John Chrysostom to become one of the first abolitionists in history. It led Wesley to reform industrial England, and Campbell to attack divisive clergy in America. We, thus, are part of a long prophetic tradition where learning serves to remake the world in Christ's image. May God use these resources to facilitate the church's ongoing conversation about what it means to discern the will of God and to be Jesus in our culture.
