Jesuit priest Dear was recently nominated by Archbishop Desmond Tutu for the Nobel Peace Prize for his writing and his peace activity around the world. Here he finds in the incident of the raising of Lazarus in the Gospel of John evidence that Jesus was calling for a culture of life in this world, rather than promising resurrection after death. His topics include the Kingdom of God is life, I am the resurrection and the life, Jesus' prayer of gratitude, serving the God of Life instead of the Culture of Death, the plot to kill the nonviolent Jesus. Dear includes questions for personal reflection and small group discussion. No index. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
