"The author introduces us to the people Jesus knew and the political times he lived in."@en
"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 to 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 listeners and surprise even biblical scholars."
"This book is for believers and non-believers alike; it is intended by the author as an act of reconciliation, where, he invites listeners into an ancient world to commute with some of the most influential people who ever lived."
