Speaking Conflict: Stories of a Controversial Jesus
Description
"Conflict stories appear throughout the synoptic gospels, and although they are familiar and dramatic, the stories are particularly challenging for pastors to teach and preach. In this book, homiletician David Buttrick delves into each conflict story, analyzing the particular controversy at hand and highlighting problems that these passages pose for preachers - including anti-Jewish attitudes in the text and the authenticity of such stories. He helps readers correct long-standing biases, shows how many of these controversies are still with us, and provides sample sermons to demonstrate how these stories might be preached more effectively."--Jacket.
