Edwards * Journal for the Study of the New Testament *A brilliant addition to Baileys other works in which he sheds light on the biblical text from Middle Eastern culture. -- Roy B. Zuck * Bibliotheca Sacra *The work will yield a rich harvest of information, pastoral support, and insight for all who read it. -- Susan K. Hedahl * Currents in Theology & Mission *Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes is Baileys most recent call to Western Christians who need to time-travel to the Middle East. On page after page, he identifies themes and reflexes assumed in the gospels that slip right past us. Stories like the Parable of the Woman and the Judge are given interpretations that should contribute to every commentary writer. And fourteen more parables are made alive again, each in its original context. -- Gary M. Burge * Books & Culture *The great strength of this work is the authors familiarity with Middle Eastern culture. He succeeds in shedding new light on well known Gospel stories from a cultural perspective. Another valuable contribution of this book is the introduction to, and interaction with, great Eastern commentaries long forgotten or largely unknown to Western Biblical Scholarship. A very readable book and will be profitable to various levels of readers. Anyone interested in understanding the New Testament from its own distinctive Middle Eastern cultural perspective ought to read this book. -- Mark Jason * Themelios * Promotional If ever it seems like the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of popular culture arent the same person, this book is for you.
