“Was Jesus really a rebel? Yes, but Jesus didn’t rage against some abstract machine, he called people to an old way, the way revealed in the prophets. The way of doing life that Jesus championed had never been done because it had always been resisted. Jesus rocked the boat, and defied the status quo, modeling courageous resistance of the prevailing winds. But in our contemporary culture, rebellion is considered good in its own right – and a thrilling one at that. We’re out to transgress. But we don’t really have any agenda beyond rebellion itself. Was Jesus really a rebel? Sure. But our version of rebellion is a shallow impression.” - Paul Grant, Blessed are the Uncool (InterVarsity, 2006)
Hello, thanks for quoting my book! I have to admit I found your site by Googling my book’s title.
I’ve never been to Hanover before, but I’ve been to Lake Huron’s north shore.
Anyway, I am glad you found it quoteable. If you interested in further conversation, look me up at my blog.
Have a nice day!
