The Sermon on the Mount Study Book

In this highly readable interpretation written for laymen, the author shows why the Sermon on the Mount has proved to be one of the most influential parts of the entire New Testament. He discusses the Sermon section by section, using illustrations from many areas of knowledge. Rich in good theology and ethical perceptivity-an excellent book for those without a strong biblical and theological background.ROGER L. SHINN is William E.
