Dr. Greg Earwood, BSK’s first president and now President Emeritus, has written a new book entitled, “Memorable Mountains in Matthew.”
“Biblical writers, as well as Jesus himself, frequently compared aspects of faith to objects in the physical world. In Memorable Mountains in Matthew, Greg Earwood explores Jesus’s mountain experiences throughout the Gospel of Matthew and also uses mountain climbing as a metaphor for the faith journey. Jesus spent many long hours on mountains during his ministry. They represented places to draw apart from the crowd and commune with God, places to stand on a high vantage point and teach all who listened, places to heal the sick and hurt, and places to provide nourishment to the hungry.
Prepare for a “climb” through Matthew that takes you with Jesus to the mountains of temptation (Matt 4), teaching (Matt 5–7), prayer (Matt 14), healing and feeding (Matt 15), transfiguration (Matt 17), Olives (Matt 24–25), and, finally, resurrection (Matt 28). The only necessary supplies and equipment are a notebook, a pen, a Bible, and any biblical resources you find helpful. Gather what you need and embark on the climb, remembering that each step you take is just as important as the summit that awaits you.”
