Review:
Sometimes just reading the Gospels isn't enough. It can help to have concrete explanations that tell us a little about the time of Jesus and the messages he was trying to get across. Divided into sections on the parables, sermons, and conversations of Jesus, The Wisdom of Jesus is a handy, easy-to-read supplement to the Bible. With numerous color paintings and photographs of things such as coins (talents) from Jesus's time, the bough of a fig tree, and a Flemish oil painting of the Sermon on the Mount, this attractive book comes immediately to life. The "Message for Today" summaries make The Wisdom of Jesus perfect for children and adults.
