Into the Darkness: Discipleship in the Sermon on the Mount

Más información sobre el libro

As God's wisdom in verbal manifestation, the Sermon on the Mount is instruction in those motives, attitudes, perceptions, and habits which are characteristics of God himself and which are the dynamics by which the universe itself operates . . . under the sovereign rule of God. Disciples are instructed not under the assumption that by living in accord with those instructions they will know success and happiness in the ways of Darkness, but precisely with the expectation that it will lead to failure in the eyes of the world of Darkness, to conflict with the world of Death, and--consequently--quite possibly to crucifixion.From the Preface
