Customer Reviews

A Rich Treasure - Rated 5/5
Bailey, having lived and worked in the Middle East for the last 40 years, as well as being able to read and translate Arab Christian texts and commentaries, offers a rich treasure for those looking to understand the cultural background to Jesus' parables and life.

I have found it useful for reading and preaching, as Bailey gives fresh insight as to what the listeners of the Jesus' parables would hear and understand.

Great chapters on Jesus' birth, women, parables, and more. Excellent!


Just keep 'em coming Ken! - Rated 5/5
I'll admit it. I'm a bit of Bailey devotee. I thoroughly benefitted from 'Poet & Peasant' and also 'Through Peasant Eyes'. I've eagerly been waiting for this latest volume for around six months, and I have to say that it was definitely worth the wait.
Anyone who wants to understand Jesus from the context of the Gospel narratives will enjoy this one. It is accessible (I would say) to most readers. Bailey uses plain english, and manages to avoid too much technical jargon. His chapters follow a logical structure, and always include a summary of key points at the end. The book is well-written, and a challenge to one's preconceptions - as you read it, he manages to achieve the impossible: the Gospel narratives re-emerge, fresh and alive in their original context. Far from the biblical accounts of Christ's life and ministry being late concoctions (a la Hitchens), what is swiftly evident is how much they depend upon the immediate cultural context. Anyone studying the New Testament should buy this one. Heck - buy two and give one as a present!
