Customer Reviews

Want to REALLY understand the ministry of Jesus?

It is extremely difficult for 20th Century, western culture Americans to think as if we were first century, eastern culture Jews. Charles Page helps the reader to get as close as we are likely to get. His intimate familiarity with both the land of the Bible and the eastern culture of those who live there bring the words and deeds of Jesus to life for the reader. This is not a devotional book nor is it a ponderous scholarly tome. If, however, the reader is a serious student of the Bible or wants to more fully understand Jesus of Nazareth, this book is not to be missed.
