Whole Stones is dedicated to understanding the life and teachings of Jesus. The premise of each Whole Stones essay is that Jesus’ story and his teachings—rather than theology pertaining to Jesus’ person—provide his followers with a moral framework by which to live. Each essay examines how an aspect of Jesus’ story or his teaching intersects with questions and challenges his followers face today.
