Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes

Resumen del Libro

Beginning with Jesus birth, Ken Bailey leads you on a kaleidoscopic study of Jesus throughout the four Gospels. Bailey examines the life and ministry of Jesus with attention to the Lords Prayer, the Beatitudes, Jesus relationships with women, and especially Jesus parables. Through it all, Bailey employs his trademark expertise as a master of Middle Eastern culture to lead you into a deeper understanding of the person and significance of Jesus within his own cultural context. With a sure but gentle hand, Bailey lifts away the obscuring layers of modern Western interpretation to reveal Jesus in the light of his actual historical and cultural setting. This entirely new material from the pen of Ken Bailey is a must-have for any student of the New Testament. If you have benefited from Baileys work over the years, this book will be a welcome and indispensable addition to your library. If you are unfamiliar with Baileys work, this book will introduce you to a very old yet entirely new way of understanding Jesus.
