Very stirring. Great writer and thinker. He swims up stream unlike so many predictable Christian authors. Challenging both intellectually and devotionally.
I love Eugene Peterson's turn of phrase, how he describes theology in poetic ways. This book is an eye-opening look at the history and context of Jesus' way of doing things, that goes all the way back to Genesis.
i love Eugene Peterson...the way he writes can be convoluted, but i enjoy the beauty and meaning in every word. very challenging, unique perspective on the Christian way--such deep, insightful use of God's word!
