Preaching The Sermon On The Mount
$15.99
This collection of essays and sermons challenges us to consider the Sermon on the Mount as Jesus’ serious proposal for an alternative society, a speech of resistance to the forces and institutions that dominate the world.
This two-part volume brings together the thoughts of biblical scholars and storytellers, theologians and historians, and evangelical and mainline scholars. Eighteen writers tackle Jesus’ landmark sermon, as timely in today’s discussions of empire, occupation, poverty, and wars as ever. They demonstrate that the Sermon on the Mount puts before us not an impossible ideal, but a vision of what God’s people can be when they choose by God’s grace to live in God’s Kingdom.
