Synopsis

One of the most striking characteristics of Jesus’ ministry is the way he continually asks questions of those he encounters. .

The latest in the award-winning Threshold Bible Series examines the questions Jesus asks his listeners. From the simple, “How many loaves do you have?” to the challenging, “Could you not stay awake with me one hour?” and to one that inspires inward searching, “Who do you say that I am?”, each chapter invites us to new ways of encountering Jesus in the gospels, to better understand who he was for his original disciples and who he is for us today.

One of the signs of a good teacher is the ability to ask provocative questions. When the minds of students are triggered by a good question, they want to probe the subject more profoundly. The good teacher asks questions that guide students toward a deeper truth, one that the students will hold all the more resolutely because it has not been presented to them as ready-made but drawn out of their own minds by the joint efforts of teacher and students.
