The Difficult Sayings Of Jesus

Plot

WAS HE ASKING TOO MUCH? | "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES." | "ALL WHO TAKE THE SWORD DIE BY IT." | "IF YOUR HAND IS YOUR UNDOING, CUT IT OFF." | "GO, SELL EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, AND GIVE IT TO THE POOR." | What did Jesus really mean when he uttered the words that drove his disciples from him...words that continue to perplex and disturb nearly 2,000 years later? Have his sayings been misunderstood? Taken literally? Disregarded? William Neil, eminent Scottish theologian and author, examines thirty-four of these difficult sayings in this provocative, illuminating look at Christ the teacher, his remarkable lessons and the rich legacy that may well have been distorted through an honest lack of understanding. -Publisher
