Description

Put the New Testament alongside the first century manuscripts of Josephus, add an understanding of human psychology plus some inspired insights and you have 'The Jesus Discovery - Another Look At Christ's Missing Years.' Dr Bradford's new book traces the human identity of Jesus through the life of his 'earthly father' Joseph. Was Jesus an itinerant carpenter? Why did he gravitate to the temple when lost in Jerusalem aged 12? Who looked after him? Could an itinerant have cleared the temple market without being arrested by the temple guard? Why was Jesus not arrested in the temple courts but Peter and John were? These and many other questions are answered in a startling new analysis of the life of Christ that elevates him to one of the highest places in Jewish life, while holding true to the Gospel narratives.
