Description
Jesus spoke words that shocked his followers and continue to challenge us today. His teachings often balanced tough love with comfort and encouragement, but he also uttered insults and made provocative statements that are difficult to understand. Amy-Jill Levine sheds light on these challenging sayings by exploring how they sounded to those who first heard them. She delves into Jewish modes of expression, humour, and the tradition of Jewish insults, revealing their meanings and relevance in a gospel of love and reconciliation. This book offers a fresh perspective on Jesus' words, helping us better understand his message and its enduring significance.
