This Book Pairs Jesus of the Gospels to the History, Culture, and Politics of His Times *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2021* Who was Jesus? While almost everything we know about him is exclusively from what was written in the four Gospels, more can be extrapolated when his life and work are analyzed in relation to the history, culture, and politics of the first century times in which he lived.And that is just what the late Daniel J. Harrington, a Roman Catholic priest and professor of the New Testament at Boston College School of Theology and Ministry, has done in this succinct and fascinating book.From why it was so radical and potentially scandalous for Jesus to have women following him to why Jesus taught lessons using parables to why he was considered a threat by the political authorities, Harrington analyzes Jesus's ministry in light of the history of his times. Perhaps the most interesting chapter is on Jesus's Resurrection and the proof found in history for what had to have been viewed as a most audacious claim made by the first Christians.Best of all, you don't have to be a theologian to read and appreciate this book, since it was written for lay readers. It is an ideal way to place Jesus of the Gospels in a historically accurate way in the times in which he lived to better understand what he did and why.Note No. 1: While there are some Roman Catholic teachings in the book, they are minimal. This really is an ecumenical text; Christians of all denominations will find the book to be useful.Note No. 2: There are several typos in the Kindle version in which the first word of a sentence is missing. It's usually easy enough to figure it out, but I found it annoying. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel Harrington's Life of Jesus is an excellent book *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2021* This was a good book by a famous author who is now deceased - Fr Daniel Harrington. It is a serious but simple life of Christ. I recommend it highly for those who want to know what the life of Jesus was really like. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent scholarship made easily readble for non-experts *by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021* Anything Fr. Dan Harrington wrote is great. He is so clear and easy to understand, presenting solid scholarship for the general public, without dumbing things down or taking above people's heads. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/8450194-jesus-a-historical-portrait](https://www.desertcart.de/products/8450194-jesus-a-historical-portrait) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
