Description
What are we to make of the collection of sayings we call "The Sermon on the Mount?" In Matthew 5:7, Jesus is describing what happens when His Gospel of the in-breaking rule of God grabs hold of an individual or community. In His Sermon, Jesus is descibing "kingdomized" people, "Gospelized" humanity. This course is an exegetical, hermeneutical, theological, spiritual grappling with how Jesus' words are lived out in this age and any age.
