The Life,
Times, and Ministry of Jesus Christ
by
William H. Heinrich
MS.Ed, MA.Bible, MA.Min. (D.Min.Cand)
This book will forever change the way one reads and
understands the gospels. *
- This book will give the novice a seminary-level
education on the historical and cultural framework of the gospels in an
easy to understand layman’s language.
- This book is ideal for use in a foreign Bible college
or seminary where the pastoral may have a limited English vocabulary.
What makes this book compelling and unique?
This may be the most exhaustive evangelical study of the life of Christ in
more than a century. Two other comprehensive works are by J. Dwight
Pentecost, The Words and Works of Jesus Christ, (579 pp) and
Alfred Edersheim’s Classic The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah,
(1,000 pp) written in 1882. Neither has photographs, maps or
illustrations.
Additional features:
- More than 400 ancient non-biblical quotations
including Homer, Dead Sea Scrolls, Jewish writings, Apocrypha,
Pseudepigrapha, and others.
- Approximately 2,000 endnotes, many with multiple
references.
- More than 200 photographs, maps, and illustrations.
- Strong emphases on recent archaeological discoveries.
- Hundreds of phrases and Jewish idioms explained.
- The gospels in chronological order (NIV but
subject to change).
- Historical and cultural background to the gospels and
their content.
- The Jewishness of Jesus and His words.
- Greek influence on first century Judaism and how the
Jews and Jesus responded.
- Restored Hebrew poetry of the gospels (not in any
modern Bible).
- Significant OT and intertestamental events presented
in context to the life of Christ.
- Biblical difficulties addressed, especially those
championed by liberal critics.
- Edited by Ed Kabakjian.
- Neither Pentecost nor Edersheim are as heavily
reflective on current archaeological discoveries.
- Edersheim is heavily reflective on the Jewish
writings which was an excellent resource for this work. However, some of
his references are wrong or do not exist.
