The Questions of Jesus: Challenging Ourselves to Discover Life's Great Answers

The Questions of Jesus: Challenging Ourselves to Discover Life's Great Answers

This illuminating examination of the Gospels reveals how the questions Jesus asks of his followers lead the way to a deeper understanding of the meaning of life and the mystery of God.

The Gospels are filled with stories, parables, miracles, commandments, and dramatic incidents that trace Jesusâ‚¬ life and recount his teachings. A close reading of the Gospels reveals, however, that they are also filled with questions. As John Dear points out in this remarkable book, Jesus, like any great teacher and rabbi, â‚¬Å“has a question for everyone he meets, for every occasion, for every experience, for every potential disciple.â‚¬Â Dear uses these questions as a starting point, an invitation to readers to discover the lessons they contain by searching their own hearts and minds for answers.

Throughout The Questions of Jesus, Dear interweaves insights from ethical and religious teachers ranging from Buddha to Gandhi to Martin Luther King, Jr. Using recent events as powerful and poignant examples, he shows why a renewed commitment to Jesusâ‚¬ message of nonviolence, compassion, justice, and peace is essential to healing a world torn by violence and war.
