Sudipta Nandi, 4/5
The preface of this book assures that the readers will have the opportunity to “pause, reflect, and insightfully apply” the lessons of the Biblical scriptures. As I go through the “reflection and application” of each of the 20 passages covered here, I feel Koh’s faith and devotion. Although the sequence of “prayer, reflection, and application” seems somewhat monotonous, the analyses of words, and meanings in different languages (Hebrew, Greek) maintain the engaging tone of the book. Contextually, “the word became flesh” analysis and a brief explanation of BC and AD divisions of calendars are significant. Such meaningful analyses lead us to an enriching journey until the end of the book. The applications of John 14:6 (NIV), the Greek word “monogenes”, the Oxymoron Samaritan story, and the prodigal son symbolism are excellent. However, I would like to know more about the root word (Hebrew) used to interpret the word “space-time continuum” in the “incarnation” chapter. The “Samaritan” story and its connection to “good neighbor” remind me of modern-day policies of diversity and inclusion.
Moreover, “the eternal life question” using “Luke 18:18-24” confirms that like power, wealth can be an entity to control our life. Here, I cannot resist quoting Koh’s “Salvation required a spiritual heart transplant”. Such a powerful insight in simple words. Koh continues to offer such powerful insights into the meaning of apokalypsis, imannuel, and the discussion on the “throne of David”, Jesus’ lineage, and the Greek meaning of Jesus. But, I think more explanation was required to analyze “the throne judgment”. The fulfillment of the “700 years old prophecy” and other 300 prophecies indicates the presence of an omnipotent god and the final chapters keep reminding the same. I love the explanation of the “perfect Christmas gift”, the interpretation of the gospels, and the linguistic conflicts of Loctus and Carob pod. Finally, the difference between natural and spiritual birth is discussed with clarity emphasizing faith and confession.
Overall, a great read irrespective of religion and is especially recommended to those who think it is time to pause and reflect.
