Recenzii
"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)"Continuing his series of 'conversations' in spiritual theology, prolific author, pastor, and theologian Eugene Peterson provides an intimate look at Jesus' words. . . . Peterson's greatest gift is his ability to write about such ideas as sin, repentance, grace, and glory in masterfully simple -- and concrete -- ways."Peter W. Marty"If books were priced according to the linguistic care with which their sentences were assembled, this volume would be priceless. Peterson strikes forcefully at theological abstraction and sentimental godtalk, offering a provocative treatise on the conversational giftedness of Jesus. . . . A compendium of marvelous insights for rethinking our own expressions of faith.""Booklist""Valuable to Christian readers striving to make faith more than a Sunday ritual."
Descriere
Peterson explores how Jesus used language, particularly in his parables and prayers. His was not a direct language of information or instruction but an indirect, oblique language requiring a participating imagination--"slant" language. He beautifully points to Jesus' engaging, relational way of speaking as a model for people today.
