Trembling at the Threshold of a Biblical Text by James L. Crenshaw

by James L. Crenshaw

This eloquent and penetrating book brings together twenty brief yet powerful sermons that illustrate the move from text to interpretation and contain reflections on the agony and ecstasy of faith in God amid life's adversity. An accompanying selection of meditations also explores the complex terrain of the spiritual journey, and a brief collection of deeply reverent prayers draws the volume to a close, showing that the one who boldly directs hard questions toward heaven also tarries long enough to pray.
