Jesus makes Newsweek cover again

It’s Holy Week and one surefire way to get folks to read something is to promise that the focus is on Jesus.

He is what Holy Week and Easter are all about. 

The cover of Newsweek’s latest edition reportedly features an image of what some are calling “hipster Jesus.”

By some accounts, the cover story tied to the image, written by Andrew Sullivan, is a thought-provoking one. (He’s set to be part of a live chat about the article in about two hours today at www.thedailybeast.com.)

Read some of what folks are saying about the story by clicking on the links below:

Atlantic Wire: “Hipster Jesus is Here to Save Newsweek”

MSN.com: “Newsweek cover has hipster Jesus in  Times Square”

Honestly, I don’t think the cover image of Jesus is as thought-provoking as the phrase that comes with it: “Forget the Church. Follow Jesus.”
