Eugene peterson strikes forcefully at theological abstraction and sentimental godtalk, offering a provocative treatise on the conversational giftedness of jesus. His many other acclaimed books include tell it slant, the jesus way, eat this book, and the contemporary translation of the bible titled the message., about this title may belong to another edition of this. This book is the fourth in peterson’s series of conversations about spirituality.
If books were priced according to the linguistic care with which their sentences were assembled, tell it slant would be priceless.
I cannot wait for this book. Eugene peterson unequivocally says yes! peterson's tell it slant explores how jesus used language, particularly in his parables and prayers. Order 25+ copies of tell it slant: His was not a direct language of information or instruction but an indirect, oblique language requiring a participating imagination — slant language.
