We live in a world which has lost touch with truth, which has reduced it to the merely rational and then discarded it as inadequate to explain the complexity of our lives. But truth is more than fact or concept. Truth is the living force of reality itself, the power of God in the universe.
Reality is not just to be explained but discovered, not to be understood so much as experienced. Can we burst free from the inherited framework of our culture, and learn not just to know truth but to feel it and live it, in such a way that it becomes real to those around us?
In this highly original book, Alison Morgan shows that Jesus himself lived free from the culturally imposed norms which restrict our understanding of the truth. Offering a challenge to the world into which he came, Jesus overturned every assumption which kept people from experiencing the living reality of God. Examining church history, prophecy past and present, the state of our culture and of the church today, and drawing both on personal experience and the experience of others, Alison blends analysis and imagination, history and poetry in this prophetic challenge to the Western church.
