Structured around the Christian liturgical calendar, Suffering theTruth offers a series of reflections on the difficult yet potentially joyful character of the Christian life. Beginning with a meditation on Advent as a time to cultivate readiness and concluding with a sermon that sets out to challenge the conception of peace frequently celebrated on the day Mennonites have come to call Peace Sunday, Chris K. Huebner presents an account of the unusual rhythms of Christian temporality. These sermons seek to elaborate a liturgical counter-temporality and to display what it might look like when its rhythms inform the way Christians go about their lives.
