The Questions of Jesus

This book provides a helpful reflection upon an issue regularly noticed by Gospel scholarship: Jesus consistently asks questions and even responds to questions posed to him with a further question. Outside this scholarship John McLaughlins reflections on this literary phenomenon are consistently directed to a popular audience. The pervasive use of the literary form of a question enabled the Gospel authors to present Jesus rejection of superficiality. This book continues that tradition focusing on the many superficialities of contemporary society. -Francis J. Moloney Catholic Theological College University of Divinity Melbourne Australia
