Taught by God: Making Sense of the Difficult Sayings of JesusTAUG150

Taught by God: Making Sense of the Difficult Sayings of Jesus

Difficult sayings of Jesus like, "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence," or, "I did not come to bring peace but a sword" have confused readers of the Gospels for thousands of years. Others such as, "My Father is greater than I," and, "My God why have You forsaken me?" have sparked theological infernos that have plagued Christianity from its beginnings. From the greatest theologians to the smallest child, the same question is always asked: What did Jesus really mean? In considering only the most difficult of the sayings of Jesus, this book brings together the academic rigour of modern biblical scholarship and the profound wisdom of the early Church Fathers in a unique, lively, and dramatic synthesis.
