One of the most intriguing aspects of the character of Jesus Christ as portrayed in the four Gospels is his tendency to respond to situational prompts or direct questions with more questions. The brief essays in this provocative book edited by journalist Dias are by 65 authors with various backgrounds; each addresses one of the questions Jesus asked in the Gospels. Contributors include poet Christian Wiman and novelist Marilynne Robinson as well as singer-songwriters Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith; theologians Serene Jones, Phyllis Tickle, and Walter Brueggemann; and Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
VERDICT As this broad collection contains many riches, there will undoubtedly be an approach for every interested reader.
