See Jesus through the eyes of two men and three women. Each character in the story—-a tax collector, a Phoenician woman, a centurion etc.—-brings along elements from their own world now hidden from us because we do not share the culture of Jesus' world. Insights from the first century Middle East abound to unlock profound insights about Jesus and his audience. Volume 3 of the Ancient Context, Ancient Faith Series.
