Jesus' Sermon on the Mount

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It is a great privilege to have the thoughts and reflections of a wonderful Jeremiah scholar on the Sermon on the Mount. Jack Lundbom has done a great job in signaling out its many echoes from the Jewish Scriptures. He convincingly shows that the Sermon of the Mount does not constitute an unattainable ideal, but that its views need to be lived out in the imitatio Dei.”

Trust in Atonement

Theology

“In this work of constructive theology, Teresa Morgan develops an impressive model of at-one-ment as the rebuilding of trust that was started in the incarnation. This ‘therapeutic trust’ was as appealing in the early Roman Empire as it still is in modern conflict resolution. In a bold, Simone Weil–like argument Morgan shows how suffering and wrongdoing are often intertwined and that a therapy of trust is crucial for victims and perpetrators alike.”
