Summary:

"Taught by God examines the hard sayings of Christ in light of biblical scholarship and the tradition of the Orthodox Church. If we believe that Scripture is truly inspired, then this task of grappling with the text is essential. We must seek its meaning, because these words are given to us by God himself. If we understand them aright, we will be truly "taught by God.""-- Provided by publisher.
