New Book Day!
One of the benefits of working at Christianity Today International is that the various editors around here receive a lot of review copies of books. Most of the time the books are outside my range of interest—I saw one the other day called The Truth Shall Make You Rich, for example.
But today is different. Today I got a copy of Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus, and I am pumped!
You might not have heard of this book yet, but I've been aware of it for a while. I am a very big fan of learning about the cultural contexts in which the Bible was written. It was a completely different world when Jesus entered the scene. And learning about how differently the Jews of his day viewed the world can be very enlightening when it comes to understanding his words and actions.
I'll post more as I start reading.
