Item Description...
David Kelsey offers a groundbreaking discussion of Christian redemption by exploring the story of a series of horrendous events that befell a young boy and his family. Sam, eight years old, was stricken with a puzzling virus that left him physically and psychologically damaged. His family suffered greatly, as well. In the face of these events, Kelsey asks, what can it possibly mean to say that in Jesus Christ, God "redeems" such situations and events? |

 | Redemption For Those Who Sin. Jul 7, 2006 |
Redemption for our sins (however small or large they may be) is necessary for the Christian soul. The apostle Paul wrote most of the New Testament and dwells quite a bit on redemption. We had a Methodist minister, Paul Allen, who based 99% of his sermons on Paul's teachings. We all know that Paul had been Saul of Tarsas before his conversion at the feet of Jesus.
Imagining redemption is a must as one contemplates the hate he has toward a tormentor. Does God redeem the truly evil people of this world? Christ did Nickodemous and Zacheus who had climbed up into the fig tree (they don't really grow that tall, but Zach was a very small man and a mean, nasty tax collector -- hated by many) to look on the face of the man who had been sent to this earth to redeem the Jews such as he. Why, Zach almost became the thirteenth apostle. Had he been sitting in Mary M.'s place at the last supper, we never would have had the Da Vinci Code controversy. It was plain heresy. But, until that movie, I did not recognize Mary as the men back then wore long hair and robes such as a woman would do.
Imagining redemption should be a prerequisite for all preachers of whatever faith and ministers of the higher denominations. The Old Testament showed a judgemental God who had no redemption qualities. How, then, can Christ be the son of such a God. Something to think about. | | |  | What Difference Does Christ Make? Apr 25, 2006 |
| Imagining Redemption offers a hands on understanding of Christ's work of atonement for humanity. Kelsey examines a specific tragic scenario and asks the question. What is the relevance of Christ's sacrifice for the individual's life in the face of adversity? Kelsey's willingness to tackle the question head on, in practical terms is refreshing and helpful! He examines the hard questions and offers some helpful suggestions. In this text he is able to address a very complex doctrine in terms that are accessible to the layman! It is a worthwhile read! | | | Write your own review about Imagining Redemption
