Jesus And The Barbecued Fish Breakfast

Have you ever wondered what it would have seen like to huddle with Jesus and the disciples under the sycamore during a rainstorm or gather in a circle in a dusty courtyard outside a tavern in Tiberias? In this immersive and expansive exploration of the gospels, Fr. Dan Daly offers a fresh take on both the remarkable episodes from Jesus' life as well as the delightful parables that he shared with the crowds. The stories are knit together in a simple chronology that provides movement and direction to the narrative as well as reflection questions for personal or group discussion. Whimsical illustrations by artist Thane Benson offer a modern view of these formative stories that we all know and love. This book is a must-read for anyone in search of a faith boost! Book jacket.

I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. (2 John 12) The word “paper” did not exist until 1200 AD. I will go to Spain and visit you on the way. (Romans 15:28) The word “Spain” or the country “Spain” did not exist until 1492 AD. Taking Jesus’ body, the two wrapped it with spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. (John 19: 40) Applying spices to bodies for burial is strictly prohibited by Jewish Laws for burials.

The church doesn’t need to be more spiritual. It needs to become more human. Since God decided becoming human was right, so must the church. Jesus’ language was consistently understood by nonreligious people. Elitist in-house church language may never reach the growing number of Americans without a religious background who have given up on God. This book views the church as a unique people-group and the reader as an anthropologist. Employing basic ethnographic methods, the reader looks at the church again for the first time without a religious lens. Based upon the premise that all good theology emerges from good anthropology, the book first considers the rituals celebrated around the symbols of a manger, cross, bread, wine, and tomb. Such symbols then become the basis for theological interpretation. Dietrich Bonhoeffer is the reader’s conversation partner to help make the theological journey from human community to church, manger to incarnation, cross to redemption, and tomb to resurrection. The church will flourish in the twenty-first century to the degree that it proclaims the Gospel using nonreligious language with a human accent.

The longing for relational intimacy is met by yielding first to the Lord, who provides the grace from which genuine oneness with others can flow.
