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.

His treatment of Luke 4 was TORTURED. Get past that and the book has some good takes on things like the parables of Jesus and Jesus and women.

The early part about rooms, stables and inns was stellar.

It was fascinating hearing all the cultural things we in the west don’t think about and miss. This was very insightful and eye opening discovering the world in which Jesus knew.

The narrator read it like it was his own book, and did it well. Easy to listen to and understand. It's a great book for everyone, but especially for pastors! So many of them avoid teaching on the Gospels themselves, and this could change everything.

Finally, a book that helps us understand Jesus
