This has been, and still is, an important book when it comes to how I've come to understand many of the actions in our contemporary politics, economics and—I guess this isn't surprising—what the life, death and resurrection of Jesus means in the midst of this. I'm looking forward to this study and though it may be challenging at times, I believe it will help all of us see our world and our lives differently.
