Reviews "This book has been admirably conceived and developed to assist the ordinary Bible reader in narrowing the cultural distance between the world of Jesus and our own. Both authors are expert teachers, proven researchers, and clear articulators of what they know so well: the society of Palestine in the time of Jesus, its social institutions, cultural values, daily experiences, an elite and non-elite approaches to the God of Israel. A careful reading will . . . make the pages of the Gospels come alive. . ." Bruce J. Malina
