Items related to Preaching the Hard Sayings of Jesus
"Challenge" has routinely been associated with the message of Jesus--and rightly so. But beyond the challenging words of Jesus come the "hard sayings"; these persist in shaking us out of our easy chairs of faith and stir us to reexamine the gospel in all its glory--the glory of the Crucified One. When it comes to stirring others to hear that hard message of the Cross and to guiding the faithful in understanding the same, no one could ask for a better set of guides than James R. Carroll and his son, John T. Carroll. This blend of seasoned ministerial experience and solid scholarly talents yields a rich interpretation that is simultaneously down to earth and yet original and insightful.

From Library Journal:
James R. Carroll (1919-2008) served the Presbyterian Church USA for decades as an ordained minister and spiritual leader.
Presbyterian minister James R. Carroll and his son, John T. Carroll (New Testament, Union Theological Seminary), collaborate in this examination of the most provocative and difficult words of Jesus. They have chosen over a dozen passages from the New Testament for interpretation, including the parables of the good Samaritan, the prodigal son, and Lazarus and the rich man. The authors also present the last words of Jesus, which express a profound sense of abandonment and evoke the full import of his humanity. The authors are careful to consider the cultural context of these selected passages, providing helpful historical background, footnotes, and a bibliography. Although the committed lay reader may benefit from this book, it is geared toward the preaching ministry.
