A Unique Perspective on the Life of Jesus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Second in a three-book series, CITY ON A HILL further illuminates both the life of Jesus and his teachings, but does so in a unique and interesting way: instead of focusing on his ministry (so well-documented in the gospels), I chose to attend to the years just prior to his leaving his trade and teaching full-time. As a young carpenter working in and around Galilee, Jesus must have had many experiences that formed the basis for his later teachings. Extrapolating off that premise, my books explore some of the most famous parables, including, in this volume, the Parable of the Unjust Judge and the Parable of the Wicked Servant. Placing Jesus in these stories adds another layer of understanding to these valuable teaching tools, and also reminds the reader that there was a time when Jesus, too, lived a life much like the rest of us: unknown, unheralded, and perhaps even a bit unsure of his destiny. Watching him grow from these experiences has been a wonderful experience for me. I hope it is for you as well.
