Publisher's Description: What does Christian virtue look like? What is the character of the Christian and how is he distinguished from the world? In the Sermon on the Mount in general and the Beatitudes in particular we are treated to Jesus’ most complete description of His disciples. Jesus works from the inside out, zeroing in on the heart and describing the behavior that flows from it. What emerges is an individual and then a community that is radically different. If the Christian community is to witness as light and salt in the world rather than blending in, renewed study of the Beatitudes is needed in our time.Author Terry L. Johnson is Senior Pastor of the Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia.Endorsements "A magnificent interpretation of the Beatitudes alongside that of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Sinclair Ferguson, John Stott and James Montgomery Boice, to name only the more recent ones. My "Sermon on the Mount' note book is now crammed with Johnsonisms--pithy one-liners that get to the heart of what Jesus meant by adorning the righteousness of the kingdom of God. Those who know him as I do can 'hear' him preach these powerful and convicting sentences. This is where preaching and teaching needs to go. A marvelous book which I cannot recommend too highly." - Derek Thomas ~ Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi
