Jesus of Arabia: Christ through Middle Eastern Eyes

Jesus of Arabia: Christ through Middle Eastern Eyes

Jesus of Arabia, the Reverend Canon Andrew Thompson introduces an unfamiliar Jesusâ€”Jesus in the context of his home in the Middle East. Whether readers believe Jesus to be a prophet or the messiah, Thompson enhances our understanding of his work and character by looking at his social context as a man and Middle Easterner. Jesusâ€™s teachings take on new meaning as Thompson explores themes including family in Arabia, gender roles in the region, food culture, and more.
Jesus of Arabia looks at the bridges between Islam and Christianity through the figure of Jesus and how the two communities may reflect each other despite their differences. Thompson draws on his experience as a priest in the Anglican Church and his many years living in the Middle East to analyze the often conflicting roles and loyalties concerning family, culture, and God. A timely and incisive work, Jesus of Arabia invites us to consider contemporary views of the Middle East and how a figure like Jesus might be received today.
