About this listen

What would it be like for modern listeners to sit down beside Jesus as he explained the Bible to them? What life-changing insights might emerge from such a transformative encounter?

Lois Tverberg knows the treasures that await listeners willing to learn how to see the Bible through Jewish eyes. By helping them understand the Bible as Jesus and his first-century listeners would have, she bridges the gaps of time and culture in order to open the Bible to listeners today.

Combining careful research with engaging prose, Tverberg leads us on a journey back in time to shed light on how this Middle Eastern people approached life, God, and each other. She explains age-old imagery that we often misinterpret, allowing us to approach God and the stories and teachings of Scripture with new eyes. By helping listeners grasp the perspective of its original audience, she equips them to hear the Bible in ways that will enrich their lives and deepen their understanding.

A great readable book by and true intellect

A lot of books by experts in certain fields are written above most readers understanding. This one is very readable while not lacking great insights. Worth the read

Exceptional depth

This is my third book by this author. I find that she does excellent research and provides such incredible depth and imagery. If you wanna understand the biblical times of Jesus of the Jewish culture during the first century A.D. and understand the scriptures that Jesus would’ve read this is the best of Thor I’ve ever found. I recommend this and all other books by her.

Get all her books!

I just love the way she writes and breaks it down. I feel that I’m reading the Bible for the first time.

The narrator is great and the book is an easy listen.

A needed help for this Westerner

I was amazed as I heard the cultural background of familiar Bible text! I have now purchased the paper copy of the book and will use it as a Bible study tool to go deeper as I meditate on God's word. I recommend this title, regardless of how long you been saved. It is sure to give you 'fresh eyes and ears' as you read, study and meditate.

An easy yet helpful guide to a deeper understanding

An excellent aid to the modern student of Scripture. It may be helpful to listen to her book that precedes this one; however, it’s not mandatory.

Context Matters

It was very insightful. Not only did the author explain how we can misinterpret by our lack of knowledge or understanding of language and/or culture, but she showed us HOW to overcome it!
