Jesus’ World
by Charles Sennewald
The limitless God of all time and all worlds chose to become a human man on our planet, in the Middle East, at a time about 2,000 years ago. This book explores a little of what becoming “flesh” meant in terms of the material things Jesus handled, the cultural norms he accepted, the friends he loved and the roads he walked. This book is not a theological work, nor does it evaluate the religious beliefs and practices that existed when Jesus lived and worked in the Holy Land. The authors are not biblical scholars, nor are they trained in the science of archeology. They are simply practicing Christians with a deep curiosity about Jesus, his life, his “homeland” and the friends and foes who surrounded him. We hope you can hear the roosters he heard, smell the flowers in the fields he passed through and cough in the dust that he, his apostles and other followers kicked up as they moved from place to place on the roadways that crisscrossed Judea, Samaria, Galilee, and the neighboring provinces. After reading this book hopefully, hereafter, whenever you hear a rooster crow, you will think of Jesus.
