Jesus: A Pilgrimage [B0857]

2016 PB in excellent condition. James Martin, Priest, Society of Jesus (SJ), gifted storyteller, editor at large of America magazine, popular media commentator, and bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, brings the Gospels to life in Jesus: A Pilgrimage. He invites believers and seekers alike to experience Jesus through Scripture, prayer and travel. Combining the fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual insights about the Christ of faith, Father Martin recreates the world of first-century Galilee and Judea to usher you into Jesus's life and times and show readers how Jesus speaks to us today. Martin also brings together the most up-to-date Scripture scholarship, wise spiritual reflections, and lighthearted stories about traveling through the Holy Land with a fellow (and funny) Jesuit, visiting important sites in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Wow! This book really did feel like a pilgrimage even though I never left my home. The mixing of narratives as to the author' trip to the Holy Land as well as his explanations of the historical life of Jesus and the richness of the Catholic scripture and tradition makes this book one of my favorites of all time. I highly recommend this book!"; "This is an interesting book - even to a non-Christian. It goes thru the stories of the new testament gospels and explains how faith is involved in the author's interpretations. It's also useful to many who may have read the Bible and not really thought out the geography and other details brought into focus by the proximity of the author. If these things interest you I would try it. If you're thinking of reading one of the four primary gospels, I would suggest reading this first."; "Loved joining him on his pilgrimage! Such great insights on Bible passages, love seeing stories from his new angles!"
