Jesus and His World

---

Who was this preacher from Nazareth? Can we be sure he existed? And if he did, what was the world like in which he lived? 

Placing Jesus firmly in the Jewish world of 1st-century Palestine, Peter Walker explores the religious and social background to his life, the Jewish expectations of a messiah, Jesus' ministry and teaching, and helps readers interpret Jesus' radical mission and the way he related to the world around him.
