5.0 out of 5 stars Good study of cultures, April 6, 2009
By Pat, Church Librarian (O'Fallon, MO United States) - See all my reviews
Each little segment takes a present-day American and drops him in first century Palestine. The American acts in an American way and the local inhabitants respond as their culture would dictate.

The book gives insight into Mediterranean culture of the 1st century. There are also similarities to cultures of today that are less developed economically.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review for "Windows on the World of Jesus", April 5, 2009
This is a wonderful way to peek into the past of 2000 years ago. When we try to understand Scripture it helps if we understand what was happening at the time, i.e. customs, etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful into first the culture of the bible., October 18, 1998
By covingtn1@aol.com (Covington, Wa) - See all my reviews
Bruce Malina did a great job giving an insight into the culture of the bible. He gives the reader examples of things and how they would be handled if they were to take place in the times of the bible. A must read for biblical culture enthusiasts.
