Publisher's note

This illuminating examination of the Gospels reveals how the questions Jesus asks of his followers lead the way to a deeper understanding of the meaning of life and the mystery of God.

The Gospels are filled with stories, parables, miracles, commandments, and dramatic incidents that trace Jesus’ life and recount his teachings. A close reading of the Gospels reveals, however, that they are also filled with questions. As John Dear points out in this remarkable book, Jesus, like any great teacher and rabbi, “has a question for everyone he meets, for every occasion, for every experience, for every potential disciple.” Dear uses these questions as a starting point, an invitation to readers to discover the lessons they contain by searching their own hearts and minds for answers.

Throughout The Questions of Jesus, Dear interweaves insights from ethical and religious teachers ranging from Buddha to Gandhi to Martin Luther King, Jr. Using recent events as powerful and poignant examples, he shows why a renewed commitment to Jesus’ message of nonviolence, compassion, justice, and peace is essential to healing a world torn by violence and war.

Annotation

John Dear creates an excellent book of sound common sense, divine insight, and Christian self-help by collecting the questions Jesus asks in the New Testament. It's the common practice of many wise rabbis to teach in the form of questioning students, and as one such rabbi, Jesus preferred this method to standard sermonizing. Dear rephrases each question and adapts it to modern times as something to ask in seeking the answers to the mysteries of life. The most pertinent question here is, "What do you want me to do for you?" which Jesus asked of his disciples and those with whom he came in contact. This book may help readers feel a transcendent love that melts coldness and unease away.
