Synopsis
How is it possible to change the conversation in Christianity? So it is no longer locked in tired old grids, yet still remains radically faithful to its origins? The ground-breaking thought of René Girard makes this dream a reality, allowing us to interpret the biblical text in a vital and fresh mode of anthropological revelation. Virtually Christian mines that vein deeply and consistently, unpacking evidence of ongoing cultural transformation of what it means to be human in and through Christ. Instead of the goal of a heavenly otherworld and its abstract God, there is a God at work in the human story, laboring to bring it to completion. The identity and mission of Jesus become fully understandable against this background, and the consequences for teaching and practice are enormous. In particular the shape and life of the church begin to look dramatically and invitingly different. This book provides a vital contemporary reading of both classical Christian thought and emerging 21st century Christianity.

Review
Tony Bartlett brings a needed voice to an important conversation emerging across denominations and around the world. (Brian McLaren, author speaker and activist)
Tony Bartlett makes a stunning presentation of Christianity as the transformation of desire from violence to non violence from retribution to forgiveness from competition to compassion from acquisitiveness to giving. (John D. Caputo, philosopher/theologian, author)
...an immensely exciting sense of what Jesus was and really is all about...this book is hugely suggestive as to who we are following and what will be the shape of our discipleship in the future. (James Alison)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Using the seminal anthropology of Rene Girard and drawing out its radical implications Virtually Christian reconfigures the traditional framework of theology. Gone are the heavenly otherworld and its metaphysical God. In their place is revealed a God deeply implicated in the human story and laboring with us for a transformed earth. The identity and mission of Jesus become fully understandable against this background. The consequences for teaching and practice are enormous and especially relevant for emerging church Christians. This book provides a vital contemporary reading of both the gospel message and classical Christian thought. The point of Christianity has been to get to heaven. Its real point is changing human meaning here on earth. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781846943966
