What Did Jesus DO All Day? (eBook, ePUB)

Discovering the Teen Jesus

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What Did Jesus Do All Day? bridges two worlds-the one we know today and the one Jesus knew in the Holy Land under Roman rule.
Archaeological discoveries, historical writings, and early-Jewish studies continue to uncover what everyday life was like back then. Surprisingly, as the distant past comes into sharper focus, similarities emerge that are far beyond sharing basic needs like food, drink, sleep, companionship and housing. Like us, Jesus' contemporaries worked and studied hard, worshipped in community, and observed holidays with family and friends. Like us, they struggled with temptation and sin, failure and loss, political upheaval and war, betrayal and violence, sickness and death. Somehow, the closer we look into Jesus' world, the more familiar it feels-and the more his words ring true.

Questions for discussion after each chapter.
