GOSPEL 2000In the light of the Jesus Seminar and the New Reformation as well as wildly successful theological bestsellers and films it is perhaps overdue to present the old-old story in a vibrant poetical guise, transcending all fundamental/metaphorical arguments about the real meanings of for example walking on water and turning water into wine by embedding these wondrous things in a poem from which they can shine forth in their true intent. Certainly much more is gained from the greater suggestive power of a poetical religious text than is lost owing to the exigencies imposed by metre and rhyme. Therefore Gospel 2000 is presented as a serious attempt at rerelating the gospel tale for a new century and a new millennium.
