Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-07 00:00:00 Michael Yi Another amazing Alison book. I actually think this is the best so far, since it shows him in a pastoral voice, reading scripture and reading our times, so that we can hear how radical God's salvation really is. The central idea that Alison circles around in this book is the idea of creation. His argument is that there is no other way to speak of creation except from the viewpoint of Jesus' resurrection. This means that Jesus' resurrection shows that the death-dealing, sacred structure of this world is not somehow "natural," not some part of the "created order." And what being a disciple is, is learning to live into this new creation, or as he so often puts it, "learning to relax into love," or "learning how not to be scandalized." Read it.
