title: The Conversation: An Intimate Journal of the Emmaus Encounter
author:  Judy Salisbury 
description: &quot;The Conversation brings to life that famous encounter between the two disciples and our Lord Jesus on the road to Emmaus. While it is based in part on an imaginative reconstruction, it is filled with the throbbing pulse of the excitement of the sensational impact that our Lord&apos;s resurrection should have on all of our lives.&quot; <b>-Dr. Walter Kaiser, President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary </b><br /><br />&quot;This little book does a big thing. It takes the age-old truths of the prophetic accuracy of the Bible and communicates it in an appealing literary format. In so doing, it portrays one of the great apologetic tools of the Christian faith in an engaging and readable form.&quot; <b>-Dr. Norman L. Geisler, Distinguished Professor of Apologetics, Veritas Evangelical Seminary </b><br /><br />&quot;Judy&apos;s touching, sensitive and creative retelling of the Emmaus road story stands in a class by itself. She handily employs theological insight by connecting the Old and New Testaments. This she does, not through bland exposition, but by unpacking its particulars, and by lacing her narrative with colorful and creative conversation.&quot;<b>-Dr. Jeffrey L. Seif, Zola Levitt Ministries </b><br /><br />&quot;The Conversation is an excellent sketch of the sort of things that might have been said by Jesus and the two on the way to Emmaus after the Resurrection. It presents a good number of the prophetic passages that we have reason to believe were recognized as Messianic in the early church. It gives us a good feel for how Cleopas and his friend might have reacted to these things as &apos;their hearts burned within them.&apos;&quot; <b>-Dr. Robert C. Newman, Professor of New Testament, Biblical Theological Seminary, Director, Interdisciplinary Biblical Research Institute </b><br /><br />&quot;Creative and an entertaining read, The Conversation is a review of what the Scriptures say about the Messiah and Jesus. Do they link up? Read this imaginative look at the walk on the Emmaus Road and see.&quot; <b>- Darrell L. Bock, Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary </b>

  ## CHAPTER ONE
  
  
  'NONSENSE ! Within ten years every aspect of
  
  
  life will be run by computers. There isn't a trade
  
  
  or service that can't be run more efficiently
  
  
  when it's programmed by them.'
  
  
  Gemma Kenyon smiled to herself as she looked
  
  
  round at her apartment mates who were all, as
  
  
  usual, getting tensely involved in the topic
  
  
  under discussion. It had become a ritual
  
  
  between the four of them as they curled up in
  
  
  armchairs or sat on
  
  
  the floor with their mugs of cocoa, grouped
  
  
  round the glowing embers of the fire, the
  
  
  curtains pulled close to shut out the chill winds
  
  
  of the winter evening. Their
  
  
  arguments, although heated at the time, always
  
  
  ended amicably enough; they had
  
  
  known each other too long to let any verbal
  
  
  disagreements intrude on their
  
  
  friendship. Ever since they had first arrived at
  
  
  Oxford as green students they had
  
  
  been drawn together by mutual interests and
  
  
  outlook. As
