                                       I believe in Jesus. I love Jesus.
                                       I am committed to Jesus. But I
       Session 2:                     am aware that the word “Jesus”
                                           can have very different
    Which Jesus?                                   meanings.




                                         One of my most faithful critics
                                       (his name is not important) said,
                                             Some emergent types [want] to
                                         recast Jesus as a limp-wrist hippie
                                           in a dress with a lot of product in
                                        His hair, who drank decaf and made
                                             pithy Zen statements about life
