The beginning of a new year and a "literary," imaginative approach to the opening of the Gospel of Mark.

Saying goodbye to the Book of Romans as Paul says "Hello!" to his friends.

The spirit of the Early Church, the spirit of the Spirit(!), and Paul's Calling/Ambition/Look-back.

The Major, the minors, The Ultimate, and penultimate things.

A chapter that challenges much of what we think we think about "American Christianity."

Experiencing the One whose Body we're learning to become.
