The fifty-six essays in this book present cultural reflections on the gospel assigned for each Sunday in Cycle C of the Roman Lectionary. Each essay highlights aspects of the first-century, Eastern Mediterranean, cultural world in which Jesus lived and suggests a cross-cultural comparison with contemporary western culture. With this information, readers can make fitting application of Scripture to modern life. | The Cultural World Of Jesus: Sunday By Sunday Cycle C by John J Pilch, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
