How is the follower of Jesus to understand the words of the Old Testament? How are those words relevant to the New Covenant he is establishing? What might the words of the Lord’s Prayer have conveyed to his initial followers, and why is that historical information essential to the prayer two millennia later?

In Sermon on the Mount, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine takes a detailed and colorful overview of Matthew 5-7, collectively known as Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount. Through Dr. Levine’s engaging method of biblical interpretation, listeners will come away with a solid understanding of the Sermon on the Mount in its full historical and theological context.

Book broke down the sermon on the mouth like I’ve never heard it before. I really appreciate it. Gave me a lot of foundation and material to be able to share the gospel with others.

Dr. Levine has given me much to consider as she has brought a fresh vision and application to the Sermon on the Mount, scripture I have studied all my life, including during seminary. I will listen to and read this text many more times and allow it to permeate my life in a new way. Grateful for this work and author.

Excellent!

I have read Mathew several times and heard the sermon on the mount hundreds. AJ’s explanations about the first century people it was delivered to are fresh and gave me better insight into what Jesus was saying. Very well done.

Amen.

The author writes in a warm-hearted, academic approach and the speaker sounds kind and clear. I loved this version of the story from a perspective that is different than what I've known.

The concepts, facts, circumstances and even the dogma is clear. I recommend the book to anyone, and I will listen to it again.

The most important line in the Sermon to me - "Ye Resist Not Evil" is a very complex and advanced teaching. This single teaching is behind major non-violent movements like Gandhi's and Martin Luther King's. In fact, Tolstoy and Gandhi were very close pen pals and Martin Luther King visited Gandhi's relatives at the Tolstoy Farm (yes, Gandhi named the ashrama after Tolstoy) - the Sermon being their common language. They all revered the Sermon on the Mount for this teaching - believing so vividly in expressing emotion, reason and needs that one is willing to be slapped and slapped, again, yet, the truth of what is behind their values (empathy, compassion, and love) kept and keeps them standing with confidence.

A great accompaniment or additional read is Gandhi's biography by Rajmohan Gandhi, Tolstoy's My Religion, and then also The Kingdom of God is Within You.

I truly enjoyed this book and will read it again. Many great connections to other scriptures. The author brings many great insights from her Jewish background. Proper perspective and context is always so helpful to understand scripture.

One of the best teachings on the Sermon on the Mount, by one of the most trusted New Testament Scholars! Really eye-opening. Now I understand why there's a study guide and Bible study that accompany this book. I want all my friends to hear this and I really want my church to read and study it.

Amy-Jill Levine doesn't dissapoint
