The message of the beatitudes is vital for our times. Far from an impossible dream or a pious ideal, they are, says Evelyn Mattern, "a practicable program to enable us to survive". She brings a rich understanding of the insights of contemporary biblical scholars, as well as a wealth of illustrations from literature and life to her book.
