As Moses went up a mountain to receive the law from God, encapsulated by the Ten Commandments, so Jesus went up a mountain to give the new law, encapsulated by the Beatitudes. Thus, understanding the Beatitudes is crucial for understanding how Jesus instructs his disciples in the Christian life.
This collection brings together 10 classic works that shed light on the Beatitudes and what they mean for not just knowing about Jesus and his law but for living the Christian life as Christ envisions it. Containing both rousing sermons and insightful monographs, these works will assist in sermon preparation and biblical studies alike.
