Synopsis

The stories of Jesus were told to a population oppressed by a foreign occupying power and controlled by a theocracy. It was the age of the Law, the Pharisees, and travelling prophets. Into this context came the Messiah, Jesus, to share the good news of the Kingdom of God. In reTell Me the Stories of Jesus, Rev. Ted Morris shares many of the parables and miracles recorded in the Gospels, yet he does so with the aim of bringing them into readers' lives in a relevant and life-changing manner.

These stories still shape our society, enrich our deeper knowledge of the past, and act as a bond among Christian traditions. Rev. Morris brings creativity and research to this re-telling, and readers will learn about such things as the kitchens of Nazareth and the boats fishing the Sea of Galilee, bringing a new understanding to the ancient stories that shook up the Judean countryside over two thousand years ago.
