What if we could step back into the first-century world of
Jesus and walk on a dusty road with him as one of his first Jewish
disciples? Here we examine Jesus’ lifestyle as a first-century Jewish
rabbi and look at how his words would have been understood within the
larger framework of first-century Judaism. His words will grow in
clarity and depth when seen in the light of their original setting.

Review

From the Publisher
Many readers of Bivin's popular first book, "Understanding the
Difficult Words of Jesus" have waited expectantly for years for more
from this author. They will not be disappointed - this carefully
researched book gives readers a many insights on Jesus' Jewishness that
cast light on his career and ministry. While very readable for the
layperson, the book includes scholarly discussion and sources in chapter
endnotes for higher level study.
Though the title sounds similar
to Bivin's book from twenty years ago, it is actually very different in
content, focusing on Jesus as a Jewish Rabbi rather than on language
issues. Readers will also find that years of scholarship have matured
Bivin's research and refined his conclusions.
