The world of the Bible is quite different from our own. According to Thomas Renquist, it's a topsy-turvy world where guests become hosts, where masters are turned into servants, where hoarders are transformed into givers, where peace-making is experienced as piece-making. And, says Renquist, the biblical world changes us because we begin to look at our own world in a different way ... seeing things from God's point of view. Thomas A. Renquist is a graduate of the University of Iowa (B.A.) and Yale University (M.Div.). He is currently pastor of Lord of the Hills Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Aurora, Colorado. The author of What Grace They Received(CSS), Renquist is one of 60 pastor/theologians selected by the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey, for three years of study and conversation concerning the church's current theological crisis.
