Christ the Controversialist (Used Copy)

Description

Jesus lived a stormy life. His teachings angered the Establishment and brought him face to face with those who disagreed- Pharisees who were shocked at his lack of respect for their traditions, Sadducees who could not accept Jesus’ view of the afterlife, prostitutes and other social outcasts who could hardly imagine how a good man would even talk to them. These conversations touched on questions of morality, worship, authority and social responsibility. In fact, John R. W. Stott, rector of All Souls Church in London, basing his comments on these dialogues, discusses nearly all of the major Christian doctrines. And he shows how these ancient controversies have direct counterparts in our own twentieth-century world.
