{"product_id":"philemons-problem-james-tunstead-burtchaell-9780802845498","title":"Philemon's Problem: A Theology of Grace","description":"In this unique work James Tunstead Burtchaell uses the ancient story of Philemon and Onesimus as a compelling entry into modern theological reflection on the unbelievable reach of the grace and forgiveness of God.\u003cp\u003eFirst published twenty-five years ago, this extensively rewritten edition of Philemon's Problem tracks across the spectrum of Christian thought -- from doctrine to ethics to worship. Burtchaell's provocative narrative demonstrates the profound insight that the father of Jesus is not an angry god in need of sacrificial appeasement but a God of absolute love. Burtchaell argues convincingly that the church's mission today, just as it was in Philemon's day, is not to offer a privileged avenue into God's favor, but to offer the privileged insight that God can have no attitude but favor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Tunstead Burtchaell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802845495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802845498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
