Did He Say That?: The Difficult Words of Jesus

By Charles Sigel and Mitchell Mackinem

Book Overview

This book explores some of the "difficult" sayings of Jesus. They are "hard" sayings because through the centuries these sayings challenge the church and continue to challenge us. This study explores both how the church through its history has handled these sayings and what these sayings may say to us today. Over the centuries there have been many attempts to soften these saying to make them more palatable to the contemporary church. This book explores these alternatives while allowing the reader or class to come to their own answers about the meaning of these passages. Through careful examination of the wording, key terms, historical context, and the historical attempts to understand the "hard" saying, this book will allow the reader or class to explore the saying in greater detail and clarity.
