"""The Gospel stories cover only a limited territory in what was happening in the world during the time of the ministry of Jesus. Roy Lennox gives us the larger picture in intriguing detail. His accounts of political drama, tribal tensions, and religious conflict cast helpful light on what the Bible tells us of 'the footsteps of Jesus.'"" --Richard J. Mouw, president emeritus, Fuller Theological Seminary ""This is the guide to the Gospels that educators and lay readers have been waiting for--a clear and compelling account of the religious and social world at the time of Jesus with insights on every page."" --William Storrar, director, Center of Theological Inquiry ""God took up what we share--'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us'--but in a necessarily particular way: in a particular time, place, and maelstrom of cultures. Every fresh understanding of that brings a fresh understanding of the Gospels. Roy Lennox has condensed years of reading into this concise volume, offering us a remarkably accessible and efficient way into the first-century Palestinian scene."" --Andrew Davison, professor of theology and natural sciences, University of Cambridge ""This book is a valuable resource for those outside the academy studying the Gospels and other New Testament writings. In the Footsteps of Jesus provides historical, social, and religious background that will help church members engaged in Bible study deepen their understanding of the meaning of Jesus's teachings and ministry and the world of the Gospel writers and early apostles."" --Beverly A. Bartlett, associate pastor, Madison Ave. Presbyterian Church"
