$17.00 CAD

pp. xii [2] 353.”Introducing us first to “the people Jesus knew,” Thomas Cahill describes the oppressive Roman political presence, the pervasive Greek cultural influence, and especially the widely varied social and religious context of the Judaism in which Jesus moved and flourished. These backgrounds, essential to a complete understanding of Jesus, lead to the author’s stunningly original interpretation of the New Testament–much of it based on material from the ancient Greek brilliantly translated by the author himself–that will delight readers and surprise even biblical scholars.”
