Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes

Cultural Studies in the Gospels.

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 book will be a welcome and indispensable
addition to your library. If you are unfamiliar with Bailey's work, this book
will introduce you to a very old, yet entirely new way of understanding Jesus.

From a childhood in Egypt to a career working within the Middle East, " Bailey has established himself as the premier cultural interpreter of the life
of Jesus. Using insights from cultural anthropology and skilled exegesis,
suddenly the Gospels come alive as the Middle Eastern stories that they
are. - Gary M. Burge"

Bailey has done a fantastic job in enabling us to put on the spectacles of " a Middle Eastern believer and therefore gain new insights into what was always
there in Scripture but not quite so clear when only viewed through our
lenses. - Mary J. Evans"
