  • Explains the culture and language at the time of Jesus which helps explain what a passage really means.

    This is a book that would benefit all Christians. I found myself going back and forth between the book and the Biblical passages. It is organized and very educational. Highly recommend for any serious Bible scholar.

  • Introduction to understanding each book of the Bible as it was originally meant.

    The author opens up a different perspective on reading and listening to the message of the Bible. I was challenged to seek further into the culture and history of Biblical times, and to apply my new understanding of scripture to my life today.

  • Awesome book for all to read, take a journey back in time to the context and culture of Jesus

    This is an AWESOME book, so glad someone recommended it to me. Each chapter has a lot in it, I read about one a week just to digest it all.

  • Insights we westerners miss that are worth learning.

    Our group has thoroughly enjoyed studying this material, though it is great reading on its own. There are some gaps relating to the Septuagint that are important but don't detract from the message. I find that studying first century Jewish and middle eastern customs and traditions helps flesh out Jesus life and teaching. So many wonderful "a-ha!" moments. My only reason for the lack of 5 stars was some research gaps that any seminary student would catch, but this is still a highly recommended text that enhances my walk with the Lord.
