Hard Sayings of Jesus: Discussions for Curious Christians

Hard sayings of Jesus are those he spoke which are hard to understand. Some confounded even the disciples, who did not understand or were astounded by what he said. The hard sayings often appear to contradict Jesus' other teachings about a loving, kind, forgiving and compassionate God. How can curious Christians wrestle with their meaning to understand them?

This book stimulates engaging conversations for a six-week group study of Jesus' hard sayings. Each chapter contains conversation starting questions, background information, and texts needed to inform the discussion. The Appendix includes valuable tools like 1) The teaching methods of Jesus, 2) Basic questions to consider in bible study, 3) Fast Facts about the authors of the synoptic gospels, and others.

The book is especially well-suited for small member-led discussion groups although anyone curious about Jesus' hard sayings will find it enlightening.
