The one Positive review (who is a "verified purchaser")It's been far too easy for far too long for the cultural imagination of the secular west to envision an aged Christ as some mellow, tie-dye hippie professor who has you call him by his first name and hands you your first J, with a copy of Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals, fully a convert to modernist moral relativism in his end-life futility and ennui, but I suggest, in this exploration, a different Christ: by age 40, a Marine major, a fit Apollonion warrior, seen lean and sinewy in Michelangelo's Last Judgment; at age 55, a scientist, analyst, and doctor, who never jumps to rash conclusions, hoodwinked by tendentious data sets from government labs, he'd solve all worldly woe by the application of crystalline thought; and finally, by age 70, a wizened, oracular leader, who commands all matters and the moment for the common betterment.
Personally, this book seems like complete hogwash. But its not actually about Turnip being Christ, except perhaps the last bit.This book by author Chris Molluso is an exploration of the need for a secular savior in our present days. Using the Christ avatar and Judaic-Christian ethic, the author guides you on a journey through a world under the imaginary auspices of a Christ never crucified, grown old on Earth. Would he be a hippie college professor who let's everything slide with an easy moral relavatism? Or rather a marshal force for good, a general, a president, waging war against the gathering storm of evil assailing good people? Michelangelo depicted the returning Christ as a fit fighter and the Bible in Revelations and elsewhere concurs. This book asks how does one act like the continued Christ, a Christ never crucified, through the fire and fire of our difficult everyday.
