Discover the world of Jesus and the Gospels! The book invites readers to familiarise themselves with the historical developments that preceded the ministry of Jesus, and the historical context of Judeans in Palestine during the first-century AD. It was a context dominated by the Roman Empire, as well as social values and institutions that were very different to our own.

The book also gives a basic introduction to the contemporary study of the Gospels and proceeds to present some key features of each Gospel individually. This includes how the authors present the life and significance of Jesus in their own unique way. Adorned with many images and maps, the book is a visual feast. This is a great resource for any person who wants an introduction to the Gospels and understand the world in which Jesus and the early Christians lived.
