About this listen

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 Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, Jesus' relationship to 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 Bailey's work over the years, this audiobook will be a welcome and indispensable addition to your library. If you are unfamiliar with Bailey's work, this audiobook will introduce you to a very old yet entirely new way of understanding Jesus.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Think you're familiar with the life of Jesus and the stories he told? Guess again! I didn't realize how much I was missing, and I'm thankful to have stumbled across this gem.

Excellent narration! At times there were a lot of academic words and I didn't always completely follow the elevated train of thought, but I appreciated it nonetheless. I know if I took the time to listen carefully (instead of doing housework) and follow the PDF illustrations, I would get even more out of this... maybe another time :-) But even listening casually I learned a LOT!

Wow! Don't miss this!
