Hidden in a cave: First ever portrait of Jesus found in 1 of 70 ancient books? | Mail Online. Very cool discovery. The image is eerily familiar: a bearded young man with flowing curly hair. After lying for nearly 2,000 years hidden in a cave in the Holy Land, the fine detail is difficult to […]

Rob Bell’s ‘Love Wins’: Reviews, comments and book sales pour in | MLive.com. An interesting story from the local Grand Rapids newspaper about the book and a video clip from a very persistant MSNBC reporter who wants black and white answers to the mysteries of God.

I came across this ancient hymn in my readings this morning and just goes to show that when our tendency is to make the church more like a funeral of facts, the ancients remind us that life with Jesus is party for all our senses. It reminds me of the great scene in The Last […]

I received this from Leonard Sweet this week and got permission to post it here on Wired Jesus. Its worth a podcast, so watch for more later. There is definately something to be said that in a world that is concerned in talking about Jesus, asking what would Jesus do, or pointing to the “Jesus […]
