postmodern lenten resources: It’s pilgrimage with Jesus, Jim, but not as we know it
Today is Ash Wednesday, the start of 40 days walking with Christ toward Easter. Lent often disappears behind a religious cloak. It needs to be re-habiliated into the culture.
I have started Faith Odyssesy: A Journey Through Lent, by Richard Burridge.
(The UK cover, above, looks heaps better than the US cover as shown on Amazon)
Burridge’s book offers a daily reading through the eyes of Science Fiction and popular culture. “It’s pilgrimage with Jesus, Jim, but not as we know it.”
