Follow one of America's most beloved spiritual writers on a life-changing journey to the Holy Land--and come away with the most vivid, human portrait of Jesus you'll ever read.
Part biography, part biblical scholarship, and part spiritual memoir, Jesus: A Pilgrimage retraces the Gospels through the actual places Jesus lived, taught, and died. Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author, James Martin, SJ, blends:
- Fresh historical and archaeological context on first-century Palestine
- Close readings of the Gospels, informed by New Testament Greek and top biblical scholarship
- Personal reflections rooted in Ignatian spirituality and contemplative prayer
- On-the-ground storytelling from Martin's own pilgrimage--Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Capernaum, Gethsemane, Golgotha, and beyond
- Discussion questions ideal for Bible studies, book clubs, and retreats
For anyone who's ever wondered who Jesus truly was--beyond stained glass and Sunday school--this book offers an intimate, illuminating answer. Martin makes a fully human, fully divine Jesus feel newly alive, with the warmth, humor, and rigor that have made him one of the most trusted voices in contemporary Christian writing.
Who should read this: Catholics and Christians of any tradition seeking deeper Gospel study, pilgrims and armchair travelers to the Holy Land, small-group and Bible study leaders, and curious readers drawn to the historical Jesus.
If you loved N. T. Wright's Simply Jesus or Kathleen Norris's The Cloister Walk, you'll find a kindred spirit here--a book that holds scholarship and soul together without sacrificing either.
From the author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Come Forth, this is immersive spiritual reading: a pilgrimage in book form that leaves readers not just informed about Jesus of Nazareth, but changed by him.
