Hey Mark

I like the template you chose for the new site, well done. Good to have JM back.

knightopia · 10 months ago

Yeah, lookin' good, Mark! Nice jorb.

cowboy_k · 10 months ago

New look is pretty, but the RSS feed now only contains the first few sentences, whereas the old feed contained the full article. Any chance of getting the full article feeds back?

Oh, and the "Subscribe" page just has some Wordpress filler text.

markvans · 10 months ago

Yeah, I can change that easily enough. And regarding the filler text...I thought I changed that. I guess I've still got some kinks to work out...thanks for pointing them out.

cowboy_k · 10 months ago

As they say - to err is human, to really foul things up you need a computer. :-) Thanks for the quick response.

Jonathan Brink · 10 months ago

I like it. Well done.

Chad · 10 months ago

Great site! I love it. Finally a place where I feel at home. Thanks for your eforts! One question... I can't get the free Ellul links to work, what's up with that?

markvans · 10 months ago

Apparently, some stuff got lost in the transfer. I HOPE that the original pdfs are sitting at my office computer. If not, then I may need to beg folks that downloaded the pdfs to sent them to me so that I can upload them again.

danielfarrell · 10 months ago

I have the PDFs if you need them.

Hi guys!! At first it is strange, but I hope jesusmanifesto will be as interesting as it used to.

mountainguy · 10 months ago

Hi people. Nice to see JM back.

mountainguy · 10 months ago

BTW, I'm the same Sebastián Nieto (I'm learning how to use new aplications)

markvans · 10 months ago

My hope is that JM will be better than ever...we're hoping for more content, generally better content, more user contributions, and a greater sharing of editorial roles. Please spread the word that we're back up...we've lost readers during the 1.5 months we've been down.

Rachel Swan · 10 months ago

Really love the new look / renaming.

TomDuregger · 10 months ago

Mark,

Glad JM is back. Why does Jesus have a $ on His chest?

markvans · 10 months ago

Thanks Tom. I'm glad someone finally asked that!

The author for that particular image (which is originally graffiti) never has explained why there is a dollar sign. I'm sure s/he has his/her own reasons for doing that.

However, in my mind, it is leaves for open ended interpretation:

It could be a general communist sort of indictment of religion. After all, the name of Jesus has been twisted for economic and political gain. In this case, we show the image because we want to expose that sort of Jesus as a false Jesus. Or it could simply be an illustration of Jesus saying "where your treasure is, there is your heart." No matter how one interprets the image, I think it raises all sorts of questions that we're addressing at Jesus Manifesto.

In no way do I mean it to disrespect Jesus. After all, that isn't a picture of Jesus...it is an artists rendering of the Jesus inside their head.

The New Site is great; exciting; and has a lot of hard work showing on it. Look forward to more and more from Mark and Missio Dei and their Life Together.
