The Sermon on the Mount

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“What are a Christian’s credentials? For Elias Chacour they are the nine Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount. This book is more about self-examination than about examining three chapters in Matthew. It challenges us to consider our prayer and fasting, to think about our confrontations with scribes and Pharisees. Above all, it asks, do we live like we truly believe that every human being is created in the image of God and worthy of dignity and respect?”
