In Living the Sermon on the Mount, theologian and award-winning author Glen H. Stassen helps us to see that the revolutionary ideas in the Sermon on the Mount about loving and caring for each other, living in peace, and acting justly are not unattainable ideals but a recipe for wholeness and healing in our human relationships and deliverance from the vicious cycles that we get stuck in.

"This is the most helpful analysis of the Sermon on the Mount thatI have ever studied. It does not paralyze readers with idealism andforce us to dismissal, nor does it back off from a very realinitiative that we can take."
--Richard Rohr, Franciscan priest; founder of the Center forAction and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
