About this listen

Understand the difficulties and challenges of daily living, religious customs, providing for a family, life at home, education, the Roman occupation, along with an authentic view of what was happening throughout the world in the first century.

Jesus lived in a time of great tension and upheaval. It is estimated there were approximately 700,000 Jews then living in Israel under the Roman occupation. Discover the complexities of life in a tiny Nazereth village. Compelling narrative brings to light the rapidily developing cultures throughout the world. The World Jesus Knew immerses the modern listener in the worldwide drama of the first century and depicts an era of global conquest and domination.

Provides some great insight into the political aspects of Jesus days. I wanted to see how modern American politics compare to Roman and Jewish politics during Jesus days. It's clear that politics have always been about power struggles, and the worst of humans always arises in the quest for power and control. This book does an excellent job of highlighting the day-to-day activities that a typical Jewish person would have gone through at the time of Jesus.
