Drawing on stories from the lives of the saints, scripture, and everyday life, Jim Forest opens up the mysteries of the beatitudes. These ancient blessings, with which Christ began his Sermon on the Mount, are all aspects of communion with God. As Forest shows, they are like rungs on a ladder, each one leading to the next. They appear at the doorway of the New Testament to provide an easily memorized summary of everything that follows, right down to the crucifixion (“Blessed are you who are persecuted”) and the resurrection (“Rejoice and be glad”). 241.53 For l1570752451 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 241.53 For l E09001716 Non Fiction 241.53 For l 61az3Rp7iVL._SY445_SX342_.jpg 29774 2014-11-13 15:35:55 2024-11-21 13:00:04 machine generated
