A quick follow-up to the last post about Revolution in Jesusland -- I wanted to pull out one of the posts from the site which deserved a special mention. Zach and Elizabeth have recently sat down with Brian Walsh (who co-authored Colossians Remixed with his wife, Sylvia Keesmaat). It's a good listen and there is always something you can get from a relaxed sit-down interview that is hard to replicate in print -- and I found a few parts actually more convincing in this interview than in the book itself (e.g. in the full interview there is a section on the passage in Colossians about slaves and it seems fuller than I remember it being in the book).

Here's a few transcribed clips (go to the blog entry for the audio):

"Every week we come together and remember that Jesus died on an imperial cross in order to bring about a kingdom that will overthrow the empire."

"If Caesar is not the image of God, but Jesus is, then the question is, well, what kind of life does a community that follows Jesus as the Lord live, as opposed to ones who follow Caesar as lord?"
