Gordon T. Smith
Here readers have a vision for human flourishing and transformation: what it means to know the salvation of God in Christ Jesus. To what end are God’s people being saved? The Christian as pilgrim; the Christian as learner; the Christian leaning into Christ as healer. Readers come to this through the classic metaphors of the Christian life: the pilgrim, the infant growing to maturity, the sin-sick soul finding healing with Jesus.

In the beginning are the words: Shepherd, Teacher, Healer. Gordon Smith illuminates the powerful reality of these metaphors–as these words are made flesh they put us in motion. To confess Christ through them is to embrace the movement of faith to home, to maturing, and to health, all journeys by which God in Christ is finishing the new creation that is us.
