Christian Leaders Reflect on His Questions of Faith
Edited by Elizabeth Dias – Time Magazine’s religious editor
 
As a teacher, Jesus Christ put many of his lessons in the form of questions. The gospels record more than 300 of them. Some are rhetorical, needing no answer, but most were real questions posed to real people. Jesus was not just preaching, he was prompting his followers how to think, especially “how important it was to think as a Christian,” writes youth pastor Jason Ostrander. “Jesus’ approach with his followers was to put them in the game by seeking their responses and working with their answers right on the spot.” Likewise, Christians today have an active role to play in this dialogue with Jesus, which can offer surprising lessons that resonate through the ages.

Contributors include bestselling singer/songwriters Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith, Christian leaders Barbara Taylor and Cardinal Wuerl of Washington, and bestselling authors James Martin and Sarah Young, and many more. Including a foreword by Nancy Gibbs, bestselling author and managing editor of TIME magazine, What Did Jesus Ask? is a thought-provoking volume for both readers interested in religious thought and understanding the teachings of Jesus better.

Many of Jesus' questions are familiar to readers today, yet the context and the potential interpretations of such phrases will offer enlightenment to many. Organized by Biblical verse, these 70 enigmatic questions include:

"You of little faith, why did you doubt?" - Matthew 14:31
"Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear?" - Mark 8:18
 
In What Did Jesus Ask?, Time Magazine’s religion correspondent  Elizabeth  Dias has brought together more than 70  of today's leading spiritual writers, thinkers, and artists offer modern meditations on the questions that Jesus posed in the Bible to teach his followers how to think like a Christian and consider their personal faith.
