"So Jesus seemed more concerned with shattering assurances and rupturing securities than he did with making sure everyone agreed on theories of atonement or what exact behaviors or beliefs were sinful and heretical and what ones weren’t. Jesus was constantly breaking social barriers, challenging cultural customs, and subverting empire. So how does this Jesus fit into the modern Christian religious world that has become obsessed with determining who’s in and whose out?"
