Text Focus: Pages 187-188

Discussion Questions:

1. What does Stefanick say is the central claim of Christianity? What is this claim based on, fact or a story?
2. What kind of images do humans create for God? What characteristics does the “world-made” God have?
3. In what ways does God reveal himself differently than how humans would choose? What are the characteristics of God’s love?
4. What did Jesus, the God-made-man, come looking for in humanity?
