Summary
A study of Jewish literature written prior to the 1st
century and its relation to how Jews living in Roman occupied
Palestine heard and interpreted the teachings of the Lord
Jesus. It discusses what they learned from their rabbinical
instructors prior to Christ's advent and how they likely
processed the new information they received. Often, today's
Christian read the gospels with two millenia worth of hindsight
becoming judgmental against those first century disciples who
were 'slow to believe.' This book discusses the traditions in
place during that time and how those traditions affected the
Galilean/Judean mindset. **
