Jesus' Awkward Questions
About this audiobook
Jesus asked many questions during his three years of ministry on earth, some provocative, some unsettling, and some rather strange! In Jesus' Awkward Questions, a medical doctor and Biblical Greek scholar dissects 12 stories where Jesus asked a peculiar question, and reflects on what Jesus was revealing about himself, the human condition, and how radically he speaks to our lives today. This book is for both those who think they already know the Bible and those who are reading it for the first time.

About the author
Rev. Dr. Philip Yeung (Yeung SekCheung) was raised in Hong Kong and trained as a medical doctor at the University of Hong Kong. Five years into his practice, he believed God called him to leave his profession to serve in theological education in Hong Kong. His calling was to provide Biblical teaching and training for Chinese church leaders, emphasizing the active integration of biblical knowledge with everyday life. After graduating from Regent College, Canada, he devoted the next 40 years of his life to teaching at China Graduate School of Theology, where he specialized in the teaching of biblical languages, the books of Genesis, Job and Ecclesiastes, as well as homiletics and pastoral care. His medical training, his proficiency in both Biblical Hebrew and Greek, and his journey in discovering God’s calling, all equipped him with insights into stories in the Bible as well as the ability to dissect them and help his students apply them in modern life.
