"The Lord is my shepherd."
Thus begins the most beloved of all Psalms - and thus begins a thousand-year journey through the Bible. Prophets, apostles, and Jesus himself took up this image from David, reshaping it, developing it, and applying it to their own situations and needs. Kenneth Bailey uses his celebrated insights into Middle Eastern culture, especially his familiarity with Middle Eastern shepherding customs, to bring new light and life to our understanding of this central image of the Christian faith. With each of nine major Old and New Testament passages, Bailey reveals the literary artistry of the biblical writers and summarizes their key theological features. His work is also enriched by his unique access to very early Middle Eastern commentaries on these passages, bringing fresh understanding from within the mind-set of these ancient worlds. The Good Shepherd invites us to experience a rich, biblical feast of ethical, theological, and artistic delights.

The Shepherd we didn't deserve

This audio book is actually an academic course and should be treated as such with Bible, pen and notepad in hand as you listen. There is a lot packed in here. I didn't agree with some of the conclusions but that's OK, it was thought provoking.
I was disappointed with the length of some chapters as they were so long and drawn out it became tedious to continue to listen.
Loved the topic, loved the research, wish this could be brought under editors like the ones that produce "the great courses" series. Small criticism for a great work by Dr. Bailey IMO.
Good but difficult to follow IMO

Excellent reading, provocative content with enough information to think but not inundate. Impressed by the thoughtfulness of the author and their perspective on the biblical passages from a multicultural perspective.
