S2 E32 | Cyndi Parker | Encountering Jesus in the Real World of the Gospels

Places matter and they have a story to tell. Have you ever wondered if it is important that Jesus grew up in Nazareth but moved his public ministry to Capernaum, even though Jerusalem was the capital of Jewish thought? Does it seem strange to you that Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes held significantly divergent religious views, even though they were all Jewish? In Encountering Jesus in the Real World of the Gospels, Cyndi Parker guides us through the intriguing drama of history that created the context of first-century Judaism. She and Lynn Cohick invite you to take a new look at the long drama of God’s interactions with humanity that reach a climax in the life of Jesus. 📖 Purchase a copy of Cyndi's book - https://bit.ly/AJPodcast_CyndiParker 🎓 Learn more about Cyndi's work and her trips to Israel - www.narrativeofplace.com
