I wanted to draw everyone’s attention to a new book on Jesus by Kenneth Bailey. Bailey spent his career working in the Middle East for many years. His earlier books, Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyes (combined as one book later) were provocative and insightful about orality and memory in Middle Eastern cultures.
