Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. WINNER OF THE 2015 CATHOLIC PRESS ASSOCIATION BOOK AWARD.

"James Martin’s riveting new meditation on Jesus is one of the best books I’ve read in years―on any subject."  ― Mary Karr, author of Lit

James Martin, SJ, gifted storyteller and New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, brings the Gospels to life and invites believers and seekers alike to experience Jesus through Scripture, prayer, and a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Father Martin ushers you into Jesus’ life and times and shows us how Jesus speaks to us today through combining fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual insights about the Christ of faith, recreating the world of first-century Galilee and Judea.

Martin also brings together the most up-to-date New Testament 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.

Stories about Jesus’ astonishing life and ministry―clever parables that upended everyone’s expectations, incredible healings that convinced even skeptics, nature miracles that dazzled the dumbstruck disciples―can seem far removed from our own daily lives but in Jesus, a masterful blend of history and spirituality, you will come to know him as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother.

This book is an invitation to walk with Jesus in a new way, exploring:

• Historical Jesus Studies: Recreate the world of first-century Galilee and Judea with fascinating, up-to-date scholarship that brings the Gospels to life.
• The Christ of Faith: Go beyond history to discover profound spiritual insights into Jesus as Messiah and Savior, understanding him as both a friend and brother.
• A Holy Land Travelogue: Journey through important sites in the life of Jesus of Nazareth with Father Martin and his fellow Jesuit in a series of lighthearted and insightful stories.
• Engaging Storytelling: Experience the clever parables, incredible healings, and nature miracles of Jesus through the eyes of a gifted, New York Times bestselling author.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A gifted storyteller and spiritual director, Father James Martin, SJ, invites readers to experience the stories of the Gospels in a completely new, vivid, and exciting way to gain a deeper understanding of Jesus. Moving sequentially through the Gospels, considering not only familiar passages but also the "hidden life" of Jesus, the book offers a bold retelling of the life of Christ, faithful to the Christian tradition, while meditating on parts of the narrative that have often escaped notice.

Martin provides personal stories from his own life, the most up-to-date biblical scholarship, and powerful anecdotes from beloved spiritual teachers, and brings the reader along on his own real-life travels through the Holy Land.

Combining the fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual reflections about the Christ of faith, Martin re-creates the world of first-century Galilee and Judea to usher us into Jesus's life and times and reveal how Jesus speaks to us today. Jesus: A Pilgrimage is an invitation to know Jesus as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother.
