Bøger af Matthew Croasmun

"Through a set of passages focused on the theme of food in the Gospel of Luke, Croasmun and Volf offer readers a vision of a meal as the quintessential enactment of home: a site of nourishing mutual encounter between people, places, and God that makes present the eschatological home that it represents"--

We often think of Jesus as someone with all the answers. But over and over in scripture, he asks questions, seeking to engage with people and genuinely interested in their responses.Matthew Croasmun challenges readers to consider this book as an experiment-an opportunity to see whether God is real. He invites us to enter into conversation with Jesus by answering the questions Jesus asks in scripture. The goal is not to come up with what we think are the right answers but to respond honestly to Jesus' questions.Each chapter of this six-week study contains five readings. Each reading follows this format: A Bible passage with a question Jesus asks in bold typeA short reflection designed to help you engage with Jesus' question as he asked it in the Gospels and as he asks it of you nowSpace for you to continue the conversation with Jesus.Written in a warm, encouraging style, this thought-provoking and imaginative book will certainly give readers entry points into conversation with God, and they may find themselves experiencing a deeper relationship with the divine than they ever thought possible.
