Highlighting aspects of the 1st century, Eastern-Mediterranean cultural world in which Jesus lived, this book suggests a cross-cultural comparison with contemporary Western culture. It can be used as an aide in preaching, lectionary-based catechesis or scripture study.

The fifty-six essays in this book present cultural reflections on the gospel reading assigned for each Sunday in Cycle B of the Roman Lectionary. Each essay highlights aspects of the first-century, Eastern Mediterranean cultural world in which Jesus lived and suggests across-cultural comparison with contemporary Western culture. With this background information, readers can make more fitting applications of the Scripture to modern life situations.
