Structured around the Christian liturgical calendar, Suffering the Truth offers a series of reflections on a worshipping life which is exceedingly difficult yet potentially joyful. Beginning with a meditation on Advent as a time to be ready for the unexpected and concluding with a sermon that challenges the conception of peace celebrated on the day Mennonites call Peace Sunday, Huebner presents a provocative account of the unusual rhythms of Christian temporality. These sermons seek to elaborate a liturgical counter-temporality and ask what might happen when these rhythms inform the way Christians actually go about their ordinary lives.
