Wright gives four reasons for grappling with the historical question of Jesus.ġ) We are made for God: for God’s glory, to worship God and reflect his likeness.ģ) The Christian imperative to truth. This work is from a series of lectures given to the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Chicago, January 1999 under the twin title: “Following Christ/Shaping our World.” Wright challenges Christians to rethink Jesus, questioning our traditionally held views and stereotypes, and begin a historical quest “Just as integrity demands that we think clearly and rigorously about Jesus himself, so it also demands that we think clearly and rigorously about the world in which we follow him today, the world we are called to shape with the loving transforming message of the gospel.” (p.12) Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 1999. The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is.
