An excellent resource for anyone wanting to understand the time, country, culture and society that Jesus lived in. Daniel-Rops did an excellent job explaining and expounding on the many cultural quirks of the time.
I found this book to be very useful in enabling me to visualise what the life of Jesus must have been like. It allowed me to put things in perspective and meditate more effectively on various stories.
Very detailed and informative, the language was beautiful, I enjoyed this book very much. Five stars.
Quem de nós nunca teve a curiosidade de saber como era o cotidiano de Jesus? Qualquer pessoa que leia e estude a Bíblia e, em especial os evangelhos, quer saber como era o ambiente, o costume e a cultura que constituía o dia-a-dia do Filho do Homem.

Nesta obra, o leitor encontrará, além dessas informações, uma riqueza de detalhes sobre os contextos geográfico, social e político da Palestina no alvorecer do cristianismo. Detalhes que são extremamente relevantes para a compreensão dos eventos narrados pelos evangelhos.
Embora o livro seja de uma incontestável erudição, Daniel-Rops se preocupou em abordar o tema numa linguagem clara e empolgante. O leitor facilmente se envolverá com as inúmeras ilustrações e explicações show more dos rituais, dos hábitos, das obrigações, entre outras coisas que envolvem o contexto do judaísmo do primeiro século show less
