Jesus, The Middle Eastern Storyteller
By Dr. Gary M. Burge

Culture affects everything, from language, history, art, literature and perspective on life. Problems arise when people view history through the scope of a modern mindset; this is especially difficult when attempting to understand the Bible. This is the purpose behind the new series “Ancient Context, Ancient Faith,” by Dr. Gary M. Burge. An award-winning author and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College and Graduate School, Dr. Burge is a noted expert on the Middle East, its churches, and its history in the Hellenistic period.

The first two books of this six volume series-The Bible and the Land and Jesus, The Middle Eastern Storyteller -  releases August 2009.
