We think of the five senses as being quite elementary, hardly the makings of a text in pastoral theology. And yet, in this distinctive and vibrant introduction to pastoral theology, Zachary Eswine does exactly that. Sensing Jesus first considers the question, “What did Jesus see, hear, touch, taste, and smell?� The answers provide a fresh and powerful exploration of Christ’s ministry. Eswine then guides readers into a consideration of “spiritual senses,� since pastoral theology must always be concerned with souls. In what ways do our souls see, hear, touch, taste, and smell? Jesus saw not only with his physical eyes but also with the eyes of faith, and Sensing Jesus helps readers to learn precisely what this means. This book is pastoral theology in autobiography; it draws on the works of poets and theologians, on life and dialogue, to offer a fresh and biblically faithful approach to the care of souls.
