Spirituality of the Beatitudes: Matthew's Vision for the Church in an Unjust World - Michael H. Crosby

Descriere Spirituality of the Beatitudes: Matthew's Vision for the Church in an Unjust World - Michael H. Crosby

The Beatitudes offer a summary of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount - a succinct summary of his essential teaching. In probing the meaning of these eight verses, Michael Crosby cuts to the heart of Matthew's Gospel: a spiritual message that is at once personal and deeply social. Crosby posits that Matthew's Gospel was written for a more affluent church community. As such, his Gospel offers a particularly telling challenge to First-World Christians. To pray in the spirit of the Beatitudes is to answer a radical call to conversion: a journey into God's Reign of peace, justice, mercy, and renewal.
