In Search Of A Christian

"I am not a Christian anymore"

Shane Claiborne was shocked to hear those words, until his friend continued...

I gave up Christianity to follow Jesus

It sounds like a contradiction but Shane explains using the words of Danish philospher Soren Kierkegaard

The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.

Shane tells the story of when he embarked on a journey to find someone actually following Jesus. It's an amazing story, and along the way he meets someone who literally sold all he had to help the poor (Luke 12:33) and wonders what it might be like if we truly believed that we no longer live, but only Jesus lives in us (Gal 2:20).
