And to truly understand Jesus, we need a solid background in Jewish religious, social, and political history.

Start with the Holy Bible. It's all about Him, including the Old Testament.

Unfortunately, there is a lot missing from the Bible. One needs to ask, why?

The point is you can understand the Holy Bible better, especially the New Testament, by remembering that almost all the authors were Jewish. To really dig deeply into the Bible, you must understand the times and the writers, not just the words.

Shalom.
