About Snowman Jesus

Snowman Jesus is a parable exploring the double paradox:

• Christianity thrives globally while declining in the West
• Countless intellectuals in the West, against the cultural stream, are moving toward faith

One factor holds the key to the two-pronged paradox: how we see truth.

What to Expect

Seventeen short chapters, told in parable form, describe the radical shifts in Western culture and Western Christianity over the last generation or two. The focus is on four different ways of thinking about truth, four distinct mental software programs that are everywhere around us.

It helps you discover how these four views of truth shape or shatter our faith.

The parable is pattern recognition training disguised as story. The views you will encounter can best be described as a generous and inviting orthodoxy, similar to C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton.

Discussion Groups

The chapters are meant to be conversation starters. Comments and dialogue are encouraged. The best insights often emerge in conversation.

About the Author

I have been a pastor for three decades on three continents. Currently, as academic dean of an ABHE-accredited college, my life and prayers are poured into the development of Christian leaders across church and denominational boundaries, in places around the world where a trustworthy theological education that aims to develop understanding, skills, and character is harder to come by and desperately needed.

This exposure confirms to me what the parable explores: we live in a moment of both profound crisis and unprecedented opportunity.
