If ever it seems like the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of popular culture aren't the same person, this book is for you. 'Bailey has a gift of clear, lively expression; he takes advantage of his personal experiences, interest in Hebrew poetic structure, and knowledge of Arabic to bring insights into NT interpretation.' RUTH B. EDWARDS, JOURNAL FOR THE STUDY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT Beginning with Jesus' birth, Ken Bailey leads us on a kaleidoscopic study of Jesus in 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. Throughout the author employs his trademark expertise as a master of Middle Eastern culture to lead us into a deeper understanding of the person and significance of Jesus, lifting 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.

Interesting Read
Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes is a useful and interesting study of Jewish and middle eastern customs during the time of Christ. It is helpful in understanding what the words of Christ meant to the Jewish listeners of the first century. The book is packed with information and is detailed but it is not a difficult read. Everyone will find interesting and insightful information. This is an excellent book.

Eye-opening
This is the most interesting book I have ever read. We in the New World have little idea of the culture and thinking of Jesus' Middle Eastern world. How what he said and did affected the thoughts and reactions of the people who were living in his community. Bailey really opens these curtains with his experiences, research and opinions.
