Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes: Cultural Studies in the Gospels
Beginning with Jesus' birth, Ken Bailey leads us on a kaleidoscopic
study of Jesus in the four Gospels. Bailey examines the life and
ministry of Jesus with attention to the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes,
Jesus' relationship to women and especially Jesus' parables.Throughout
the author employs his trademark expertise as a master of Middle Eastern
culture to lead us into a deeper understanding of the person and
significance of Jesus, lifting away the obscuring layers of modern
Western interpretation to reveal Jesus in the light of his actual
historical and cultural setting.
