In the Meshes of the Net: Jesus and the Healing of History 06 - Paperback

by Anne Hamilton (Author)

Was the curse Joshua pronounced on the reconstruction of Jericho ever revoked? Who received the prophet Elijah's mantle after John the Baptiser died? The answers to these questions are tucked away in the folds of familiar episodes in the life of Jesus. They peek out at us, trying to hook our attention, but so often we overlook them as tiny, irrelevant details.

This book is the first in this series to move beyond Jesus' own lifetime and examine the way He set up events so that His disciples could continue His work of healing history, mending society and repairing the world.
