No religious text has influenced the world more than has the New Testament's Sermon on the Mount, and yet this crucial text still begs to be more clearly understood. Why was it written? What unifying theme or purpose holds it all together? Should it be called a sermon? Or is it some other kind of composition? How would its earliest listeners have heard its encoded allusions and systematic program? This book offers new insights into the Sermon on the Mount by seeing it in the shadow of the all-pervasive Temple in Jerusalem, which dominated the religious landscape of the world of Jesus and his earliest disciples. Analyzing Matthew 5-7 in light of biblical and Jewish backgrounds, ritual studies, and oral performances in early Christian worship, this reading coherently integrates every line in the Sermon. It positions the Sermon as the premier Christian mystery.

Job faced the powers of heaven and earth in the form false accusations, condemnations, judgments, and wrong advice from his closest friends and family members, but he refused to give in or let up, even though he was shaken to his core. When you are experiencing the trials and tribulations of life, do you ever wish you had the “fighting spirit” of Job? Job: The Battered Lighthouse That Keeps On Shining! can help you to stay anchored in your belief in God, even when your life seems like it is at its lowest point. Author and licensed mental health counselor Francis Raj guides us through the book of Job and shows us how we can endure and overcome sufferings—both inside and out— by relying on our faith in God to redeem us. Job experienced many of the physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that we experience today, and from his story we can learn how to be blameless, upright, and God-fearing even amid suffering. When the darkness closes in, have your light shining bright! Believe in the sun when it is not shining—and believe in God when He is silent! And then, like Job, even when your integrity is bruised, it will not be destroyed as your faith in God will sustain you. For you can remain faithful and hopeful as you wait to encounter God.
