Paper Jesus
"Plenty of people in church and outside it have made up a 'Jesus' for themselves, and have found that this invented character makes few real demands on them. He makes them feel happy from time to time but doesn't challenge them, doesn't suggest they get up and do something about the plight of the world. Which is, of course, what the real Jesus had an uncomfortable habit of doing."
(N.T. Wright, Following Jesus: Biblical Reflections of Discipleship)
Paid in Full
This is a fantastic quote. I am trying to remember which N.T. Wright book that I have on my shelf. I think it's this one, but if not, I need to add it.
