New today from the Century:
- James McGrath on the world of Jesus mythicism: "Scholars disagree about how Jesus understood his life and his mission.

- Mark Labberton blogs the lectionary: "Knowing and using our

fruitfulness--not for being cowed by fear." - Steve Woolley would love to tell the story, but he doesn't know it.
