Description: Jesus has been described in many ways: divine and human, a man of peace and justice, a faith healer -- and paramount among all, a teacher. He engaged his followers as well as skeptics in dialogue, posing questions to guide them to examine their personal faith and to teach them how to think after his own heart. In this book, more than 70 spiritual writers, religious leaders, and artists offer modern mediations on the questions Jesus asks in the Bible. Their contemplation provide telling context, with both contemporary and traditional interpretation to lead readers on an exploration of their own faith and to shape their own answers.
