Thomas Moore Press, 1985. (ISBN 0883471825) Hardcover with dust jacket. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR ON THE FLYLEAF AND INCLUDES A PERSONAL NOTE WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR TO THEPREVIOUS OWNER OF THE BOOK. Volume 3 of the Basics of Christian Thought. Good copy, fair jacket. Did Christ know when the world would end? Why did Jesus commend the dishonest steward? Who are the brothers and sisters of Jesus spoken of by Matthew and Mark? Why does Matthew include Joseph in his genealogy of Christ if Joseph was not Christ's father? How explain Jesus' harsh instruction to the young man to let the dead bury their dead? Did Jesus on the cross approach the threshold of despair? Why did Jesus first brusquely refuse to consider the woman of Samaria's plea to cure her daughter, and then warn his disciples to stay away from that part of Palestine? These are among the seventy "puzzling" passages in the gospels selected for consideration and explication in this extremely helpful and fascinating book. It is questions like these, not those of textual or metaphysical nature, which most frequently haunt churchgoers and private readers of the scriptures. Priests and ministers routinely neglect to explain many of these troublesome texts and professional exegetes often bury their explanations to these difficulties midst long and erudite commentaries about more abstruse matters.
