Book Description: In this second volume of The Synoptic Gospels: A Journey Into the Kingdom, Ed Bleynat continues as able guide through the stories of Jesus told in the synoptic Gospels the words of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. From the Desert to the Mount leads readers from the testing of Jesus in the desert through Matthew s Sermon on the Mount. The author investigates the historical, literary, theological and community contexts from which these Gospels emerged and explores their similarities and differences. He then invites readers to find the meaning behind and within these texts, and to carry it out in their own Christian journeys. Whether clergy or laity, individuals or groups, readers will find this book a thoughtful, compassionate, and comprehensive companion for studying and discussing the mission and ministry of Christ. Includes an extensive index, detailed maps, and a comprehensive biblical and historical chronology. As Phyllis Tickle, best selling author and founding religion editor of Publishers Weekly, wrote, 'By the grace of God, from era to era and frequently just as the need itself seems to bubble to the surface of our consciousness, there has always emerged a scholar/writer who can juxatapose with exquisite carefulness what we have received by tradition with what we are receiving by proximity. Edward L. Bleynat, Jr. is such a writer/scholar for our time. ... Let us all Protestant, Catholic, or Anglican be grateful.'
