Miracles of Jesus and Their Flip Side Cycles A, B, and C Miracle Narratives from the Revised Common Lectionary

The miracles of Jesus are some of the most striking passages in the New Testament -- but how can we translate their sometimes arcane historical content for contemporary sensibilities? Jerry Schmalenberger's original solution uses the analogy of old 45 rpm records, which were usually released with a "hit" side and a "flip" side. In 13 well-crafted sermons on miracle stories in the Revised Common Lectionary, he initially focuses on the traditional approach to each miracle (the "A" or "hit" side), and then offers a fresh look at the "other side of the story" (the "B" or "flip" side). Schmalenberger's punch, contemporary language, and narrative style produce hard-hitting and inspirational messages that offer a unique twist in the interpretation of these fascinating stories.Schmalenberger, Jerry L. is the author of 'Miracles of Jesus and Their Flip Side Cycles A, B, and C Miracle Narratives from the Revised Common Lectionary' with ISBN 9780788017100 and ISBN 0788017101.
