The handbook caters for teenage students and aims to encourage an engagement with the big ideas of the text. Activities are designed to follow the main flow of the text, offering short resources to the key ideas, along with the opportunity to express individual reactions and thoughts. Set in a contemporary and attractive style, thought-provoking quotes and cartoons support the various activities as they negotiate the terrain covered by Dickson. As John Dickson explains, 'what began as a sneaking suspicion' has for him blown into a huge reality. The hunch that by looking into Jesus more could be found, eventually uncovered more than he could ever have imagined. This handbook provides the opportunity for students to wrestle with their own suspicions, to respond to the author's ideas and to consider the person of Jesus, and the relevance He might have for their own lives. The intention is to facilitate a genuine engagement with the material, in a way that will support the teacher and ensure that the student confronts the claims of the text in a personal and meaningful fashion.
