Description
Eugene Peterson explores how Jesus used language in his everyday conversations and prayers. He argues that our ordinary speech can be just as important as the words we hear from the pulpit.
Part 1 of Tell It Slant examines Jesus' teachings to crowds, stories he told, and conversations with disciples, while Part 2 focuses on his prayers to God. Peterson's book aims to deepen our understanding of Jesus' language, strengthen our awareness of it as a gift from God, and help us use our speech to convey blessings to others.
