Cuando Jesús confronta el mundo

by D.A. Carson

Matthew's Gospel raises issues which are startlingly relevant to our contemporary world. The Lord's teaching, recorded in chapters 8-10 of that Gospel, is faithfully and painstakingly explained in this book. Dr Carson takes illustrative material from the realms of the media and politics and marries his perception of our world to a dynamic and scholary approach to Scripture. He handles delicate topics such as healing, the reality of hell and the nature of faith in the Christian life with warmth and heart-searching realism.

Reviews

[James Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

6 sermons on Matthew 8-10. Carson draws out key aspects of Christ including His Mission, Compassion, and Authority. Written well, to warm the heart and glorify Him. Each sermon ends with a hymn. An excellent resource which I used devotionally. (I will next use Boice's The Parables of Jesus to help me through Matthew 13).

Carson has written a few in this series published by Baker Book House. I look forward to reading Showing the Spirit on 1 Corinthians 12-14.

Como todo lo que me he leído hasta ahora de D.A.Carson, este es una joya más para contemplar. Un comentario breve de Mateo 8 -10, pero no por eso menos profundo. Es impresionante todo lo que Jesús provocó en el mundo mientras vivió aquí en su encarnación. Él enfrentó los corazones de las personas para decidir si seguirlo o no, y los costos de ambas decisiones, entre otras muchas cosas que nos enseña Carson en este libro. ¡Absolutamente recomendado!
