This book is an attempt to explain, in lay terms, the world that
Jesus took as his reference point. The kinds of houses in which he
dwelt; the education he received; the clothes he would have worn;
the language he spoke; the terrain and climate; the agricultural
methods; the cultural assumptions; the religious customs; the
festivals; the Temple; the synagogue; the scriptures; the
opposition and the political currents - all of these formed the
soil in which Jesus the man was nurtured. Each chapter covers a
distinct aspect, and opens a whole new range of understanding which
we are likely to miss. For instance, a rich symbolism concerned
with water and light, and linked with the Feast of Tabernacles,
underlies John 7 and 8, but much of this will probably escape us.
Previously published by Monarch and then Moody, this classic
reference work has been unavailable for several years.
