Anxiety, insecurity, military power, racial prejudice, and heavy taxes—all these problems of contemporary life were also faced by those who first heard the teaching of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Author Clarence Jordan points out that this sermon presents many of the major features of the kingdom of God on earth that Jesus was proposing. Not only has the author done a masterful job of interpreting Jesus’ words; he has also demonstrated their meaning through his work at Koinonia Farm in Americus, Georgia.

Sermon on the Mount,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sermon on the Mount (Koinonia Publication) (Paperback)
Clarence Jordan did an outstanding job of dealing with this timeless message. He emphasizes the graphic teaching style of Jesus in a way that causes the material to snap into clear focus. For example, we learn that the word "hraca" (Mt. 5.14) is not some obscure form of derision (RSV note), but rather the sound of a man preparing to spit! That's graphic, and it makes the teaching understandable. Dr. Jordan's approach to the scripture makes obvious what other commentators have obscured. In short, this is an outstanding book that is worth exploring.

St. Jordan,
By Moses Glidden (prescott, az United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sermon on the Mount (Koinonia Publication) (Paperback)
If you are serious about Jesus, this book will force you to take a giant step up the Christian ladder. Habitat for Humanity is with us today because the founder had a chance encounter with Clarence Jordan. Clarence Jordan was a one man ensemble: he walked Jesus, talked Jesus, lived Jesus, and wrote Jesus. Clarence Jordan integrated a farm in Georgia in the 1940's and lived to write about it. This book is not the farm experience, but this book comes out of Jordan's attempt to live the Sermon on the Mount on that farm. Before any other American public figure of the 20th Century, Jordan should be declared a Saint! Read this book and believe!

Life Changing!,

This review is from: Sermon on the Mount (Koinonia Publication) (Paperback)
Don't read this book unless you are ready to make some immediate changes in your life. It took me twice as long to read, because I found myself reading chapters over and over.Buy it - not only for yourself - but for everyone you care about as well!
