Description
Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes: A Cultural Study of the Gospels This book offers a fresh perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus, exploring the cultural context in which the four Gospels were written. Ken Bailey's expertise in Middle Eastern culture shines through as he examines the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, Jesus' relationships with women, and his parables, lifting the veil of modern Western interpretation to reveal Jesus in his historical and cultural setting. Through a kaleidoscopic study of Jesus' birth to his ministry, Bailey reveals the significance of Jesus in the light of his actual historical and cultural context. This insightful analysis is essential for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Gospels and the person of Jesus. With 443 pages of in-depth analysis, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the cultural and historical context of the New Testament.
