What is the Raising Jesus Website and Ministry all About?
Old-fashioned. Judgmental. Unscientific. Naïve. This is the way many perceive Christianity—and, sadly, the way many Christians have presented their faith. Christianity is often thought to be based on a simplistic worldview, on flimsy scholarship of a decidedly biased and conservative bent—so-called “alternative facts”—or on no scholarship, no reason or logic, at all.
Many assume that, to follow Christ, you have to leave your brain at the door. Worse still, many have only experienced a Christianity that is bitter, angry, self-righteous, judgmental, and emphatically aligned with a specific brand of partisan politics.
Who’d want to believe in a God like this?
This website, Raising Jesus, is meant to be an alternative to this kind of mean and joyless Christianity. It’s meant to “raise up” the Jesus I and many others believe in who is the source of the greatest joy, love, mercy, and grace this world—and the next—offers. Most of all, Raising Jesus is meant to be an antidote to this kind of simplistic Christianity. It’s meant to “raise up” the massive amount of evidence that makes Jesus so intellectually compelling.
In a culture that thinks the only option for a sophisticated, modern, scientific person is to believe that God is dead, Raising Jesus is meant to show that he is very much alive and well.
