Can we know more about the life of Jesus of Nazareth than what is written in the four gospel accounts? The answer is yes. The Old Testament says much about him. A knowledge of the Jewish culture in the first century adds greatly to our understanding of his life, teachings, and actions.
This narrative account of the life of Jesus draws on both the Old Testment background and the first century Jewish culture. The story is told chronologically, showing how the sequence of events influenced his teaching and his strategies. This makes much clearer the conflict between religion and faith, and shows his skillful handling of the dramatic confrontation between him and the religious leaders of the time. It likewise portrays the evidence he set before the people of his identity, evidence that required a decision.
