The Christ of the New Age

Jacquie J. Higinbotham
Jacquie J. Higinbotham points out that Christian churches are struggling to keep their doors open, as many people seem to identify themselves as spiritual, but not religious. Religions are seen as somehow not spiritual by a growing number of individuals. Higinbotham believes that Jesus was of the Piscean Age, but we are now entering the Aquarian Age — the age of the Holy Spirit. Hence, more and more are seeing Jesus Christ in a new light.

Ritual in Space

Robert M. Price
What do the Bible and "Masks," an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, hold in common? As it turns out, plenty. "Masks" tells of an ancient probe, which serves as an archive of a lost civilization. That archive tries to transform the Enterprise into the artifacts of that long-vanished culture. Captain Picard must figure out how to perpetuate their hunt of one masked character chasing another. Price explains that the episode retells an astronomical myth whose remnants survive in Isaiah and Genesis, as well as other schools of thought. The hunt? The ever-repeating replacement of the moon by the rising sun.

A Pensive Pause

Joanne Winetzki
Joanne Winetzki opens this issue's "Pensive Pause: Accepting Acceptance" with a little known, early version of the Serenity Prayer that is usually attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr. Using the word should rather than can "transforms a simple prayer into a powerful mandate for us to effect needed change," according to Winetzki.

A Peek Between the Covers

Dan Hahn
The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr is the title The Reverend Daniel B. Hahn has chosen to review this time around. Rohr, a Franciscan priest, distinguishes between Jesus, who was born in a place and time, and Christ, who is, Hahn explains, "the all-pervasive purposeful essence of a loving God."
