The Ladder of the Beatitudes
Author: Jim Forest
Publisher: Orbis Books
ISBN: 1608330826
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Drawing on stories from the lives of the saints, scripture, and everyday life, Jim Forest opens up the mysteries of the Beatitudes. These ancient blessings, with which Christ began his Sermon on the Mount, are all aspects of communion with God. As Forest shows, they are like rungs on a ladder, each one leading to the next. They appear at the doorway of the New Testament to provide an easily memorized summary of everything that follows, right down to the crucifixion ("Blessed are you who are persecuted") and the resurrection ("Rejoice and be glad").

Category : Religion
Languages : en
