About the Instructor
Ron McCreary earned a Master of Divinity degree from Candler School of Theology in1984. He has been working with Scripture for 30 years as a preacher and teacher in local congregations. In his preaching and teaching he’s always found the Sermon on the Mount intriguing – and challenging. Matthew’s Jesus calls his followers up the mountain. He tells them what is expected, not of the world, but of them, and what kind of community they are to be together. Jesus tells them how to live and thrive together in a world that is not interested in their values. Ron yearns for that kind of community, and accepts the difficult challenges the Sermon poses.
