Complete transcript
Quinlan Motley is a Sunday School Teacher and the GoodNovels.org Author of THE PROVIDENCE. His Novel imagines the life surrounding the Rich Ruler's encounter with Jesus. A useful conversation begins by reading the Gospel passage carefully.
Matthew 19, Mark 10, and Luke 18 provide the central encounter. Read the surrounding passage as well as the ruler's question. Notice what the text states, what the Novel imagines, and which questions remain open for the reader.
Invite each person to name one detail and explain why it matters. A group does not need a shared interpretation to have a worthwhile conversation. Returning to the text helps participants understand where their readings meet and where they differ.
What does the ruler believe he can secure through his own resources? What does following Jesus ask him to trust? Explore those questions with the Book Sample and discussion resources at GoodNovels.org.
