Weaving the best theology and spirituality, \u003ci\u003eJesus the Holy Fool\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh and inviting Christology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Scriptures tell us that religious leaders thought Jesus was \"possessed,\" and his own family thought he was \"crazy.\" In his open table fellowship, choice of followers, radical passion, and his death and resurrection, Jesus was willing to appear as a fool for the sake of God’s reign. His teachings—especially the parables, paradoxes, and the beatitudes—advocate a way of life that is grounded in Holy Foolishness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough an archetypal examination of the fool motif as it applies to Jesus in the Gospels,\u003ci\u003eJesus the Holy Fool\u003c\/i\u003e develops the connections between holiness and folly. Offering new insights into Christology and exploring its practical pastoral ramifications, \u003ci\u003eJesus the Holy Fool\u003c\/i\u003e presents Holy Foolishness as a paradigm for the Christian journey and as a new model of what it means for us to be church.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56399336014168,"sku":"9781580510615","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/jesus-the-holy-fool","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
