Description

Jesus lived in a time of great tension and upheaval. It is estimated there were approximately 700,000 Jews then living in Israel under the Roman occupation. Discover how people of that time prioritized serving God in the midst of life’s challenges. How they balanced obedience to their faith with the need to accommodate the ruling powers. This book will help modern readers understand the difficulties and challenges of daily living, religious customs, providing for a family, life at home, education, the Roman occupation, and an authentic view of what was happening throughout the world in the first century.
