Overview:

In A tékozló Isten – és két elveszett fia, Timothy Keller dives deep into one of Jesus's most well-known parables, challenging traditional interpretations and shedding light on its profound message. Often focusing on the rebellion of the younger son, Keller posits that the true recipient of Jesus’s message is the "older brother"—the morally upright churchgoer who may be more lost than he realizes.

Keller argues that the older brother’s adherence to rules blinds him to his own need for grace, revealing a hidden danger within self-righteousness. This book serves as a call to all believers, especially those who consider themselves righteous, to hear the Gospel—a loving invitation from the Father to celebrate His grace.

Áttekintés:

A A tékozló Isten – és két elveszett fia című könyvben Timothy Keller mélyen belemerül Jézus talán legismertebb példázatába, megkérdőjelezve a hagyományos értelmezéseket, és fényt derítve annak mély üzenetére. A könyv célja, hogy a keresztények, különösen az önigazultak, megértsék a kegyelem üzenetét, amely az Atya szeretetének ünnepére hívja őket.

Lehet-e bármi újat mondani Jézus talán legismertebb példázatáról? A bevett magyarázatok a lázadó fiatalabb fiú bűnösségét szokták hangsúlyozni, ám a híres New York-i lelkipásztor szerint Jézus ismert példázatának igazi címzettje a mindenkori „idősebb testvér”, a kegyes gyülekezeti tag, aki sokkal inkább elveszett, mint a lázadó fiatalabb. Saját jósága, törvénytisztelete vakítja el, betegsége; mivel nincsen tudatában, halálos lehet. Elsősorban az önigazult hívőnek kell meghallania az evangéliumot, mely nem más, mint az Atya meghívása szeretetének ünnepére.
