The Trouble With Christians: A Fresh Look at the Sermon on the Mount

by Jon Jaroszewski, Gregg Hakalmazian (Editor)

Overview

What if Jesus is smarter than we think? What if we valued his words like we do other great literature? What if we shrugged off shallow interpretations and looked for cohesive and purposeful insight from the mind of a master communicator? Might we come to a deeper understanding of his vision for humanity? This book attempts to do just that and shows us that the Sermon on the Mount is not just beautiful and profound, it also remains controversial and revolutionary in ways we have forgotten.
