You Tube Theology

Jesus’ teaching changed the world, yet his sayings can often seem cryptic and hard to understand. Keith Ward, one of the most distinguished theologians at work today, has spent a lifetime studying the Gospels. He finds the figures of speech and images that Jesus used are all ways of expressing and evoking the self-giving love of God, supremely manifested in Jesus’ own life. He explores the ways they communicate spiritual truths, often in a poetic rather than literal way, and promise a fulfilment of our hopes for a just and peaceable world that surpasses anything that we might imagine or describe.
