Jesus: The Spiritual Trickster.

AI-generated image. I do not see Jesus primarily in the way many Christians describe him: as “King of Kings,” or “Lord of Lords.” Those titles belong to one interpretive layer, and perhaps an important one, but not the deepest or only one for me.

A quick update for my blog.

It's been a minute. First, my apologies to any readers and the small number of my subscribers for my absence and for not posting for a long time.
