But sometimes Jesus spoke words that followers then and now have found difficult. He instructs disciples to hate members of their own families (Luke 14:26), to act as if they were slaves (Matthew 20:27), and to sell their belongings and give to the poor (Luke 18:22). He restricts his mission (Matthew 10:6); he speaks of damnation (Matthew 8:12); he calls Jews the devil's children (John 8:44). In \u003ci\u003eThe Difficult Words of Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, Amy-Jill Levine shows how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how have they been understood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of the Gospel of love and reconciliation. The six-session DVD features Dr. Amy-Jill Levine guiding participants through the study. The video sessions are approximately 10-12 minutes in length and, when combined with the six book chapters, make an ideal six-week group study. All videos sessions are closed captioned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy-Jill Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1791007619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781791007614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abingdon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Amy-Jill Levine","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":44050190696703,"sku":"9781791007614","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b1557ba-b6e1-42f3-b330-63bc781c41ed.jpg?v=1685005764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-difficult-words-of-jesus-amy-jill-levine-9781791007614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
