Taught by God: Making Sense of the Difficult Sayings of Jesus
"Taught by God is well researched and speaks clearly and informatively to many of the most difficult aspects of the biblical witness ... students, clergy and lay people could all greatly benefit from a close reading of the book's arguments and the evidence provided to support them. Daniel Fanous draws a great many good and plausible conclusions regarding difficult passages, and has provided a highly useful tool for people who read Scripture in depth and find themselves troubled or perplexed by these passages."--Very Rev. John BreckProfessor of Biblical Interpretation & Bioethics,St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute, France. "Fascinating and informative ... This book illuminates the background of Jesus' controversies with the Jewish religious leaders and makes Jesus' difficult sayings come alive for the modern reader. The author has done his homework and provides exciting insights into Jesus' ministry."--Very Rev. Dr. Theodore StylianopoulosProfessor of Orthodox Theology & New Testament,Holy Cross Orthodox School of Theology, USA. "It is heartening to see the treasures of Orthodoxy come together with modern biblical scholarship.... The encounter is fascinating and, for both Church and academy, full of promise."--Dale C. Allison, Jr.Errett M.
