An innovative series of three readers which interprets the events of the Gospel by organizing them into various journeys. To quote the preface, ""...the author follows the footsteps of the Messias from the time He leaves His home in Nazareth for the first time, on His public mission, and presents in a series of ten journeys the events of His Life.""
The first volume takes us from Jesus' baptism, the calling of His disciples, and the wedding at Cana, through various journeys in Galilee (the north country of Israel) and Judea (the south, surrounding Jerusalem), including His Sermon on the Mount.
In the second volume, Jesus' ministry takes him into the pagan provinces of Phoenicia, Decapolis, Caesarea Philippi, as well as Samaria and the land beyond the Jordan. Here we encounter His Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor and hear his many parables. This volume ends on the threshold of His final journey...
The third volume then begins with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His final days in the Holy City, His Passion and Death, and His glorious Resurrection and Ascension into heaven.
The narratives are constructed using the language of scripture, descriptions of the places visited, and questions for study at the end of each section. Each volume also includes maps, a glossary which provides pronunciations of the various words and places, and plentiful black and white illustrations modeled after the Gospel illustrations of Alexandre Bida (1813-1895), who spent many years of study in the Holy Land.
