Hero of Heroes: Seeing Christ in the Beatitudes
Publisher's Description
"HERO." Someone we admire, someone we want to be like. But does your idea of a hero include someone poor in spirit? Meek? Merciful?
In this fresh look at the Beatitudes, Iain M. Duguid shows how Jesus turns our concept of a hero upside down. The Beatitudes hold out to us a higher form of heroism—the character and attitudes found in the Hero of heroes.

He has written numerous works of biblical exposition, including Esther & Ruth in the Reformed Expository Commentary series, Ezekiel in the NIV Application Commentary series, and Numbers in the Preaching the Word series.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Iain Duguid plays the subtle tempter, somehow holding before us a true poverty and mourning and hunger so that we find ourselves envying what we naturally despise. He casts this spell with the only real magic: holding before us the image of the Blessed One, the Christ whose life was beatitude.”
Kris Lundgaard
missionary with Mission to the World, author of The Enemy Within
“A thorough, practical, readable, broad–ranging, and above all, Christ–centered exposition of the Beatitudes, suited to make readers better disciples.”
Daniel M. Doriani (M.Div.
Ph.D. Westminster Theological Seminary), formerly Professor of New Testament and Dean of Faculty at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri.
