Emmaus... In Today's Society George Calleja

The story of the Road to Emmaus is a very interesting and well-known passage in the Gospel. It is a story that takes place just a couple of days after the crucifixion of Jesus. It recounts the episode of two men who were travelling the road to Emmaus, when a third man, out of nowhere, joined them on their way. Where had this man come from? Who was this mysterious man and what did he want?This book will go into the spiritual meaning behind the story of Emmaus. It will use the author's imagination of what went on during the walk of the three men, what was discussed and what the outcome of the journey was. The third man of this story had a significant impact upon the spiritual life of the other two men. What was this spiritual impact all about? In today's society, is the story of the road to Emmaus, still significant? How can the story of the road to Emmaus play an important role for the evangelisation of the world, to share the Good News in the peripheries of today's society?All this will be explored in this book. This book will bridge what happened 2,000 years ago on the road to Emmaus and translate that message, that spiritual experience for today's readers. Thank you for making time to read this book.
