What would Jesus have witnessed, experienced, and felt as a boy growing up in first-century Galilee?

Jesus lived at a time of deep social disturbance, as the Jewish people struggled to come to terms with Roman occupation. As a boy, he was a refugee, an outsider, an immigrant in the Galilee in which he grew up. He was also a witness to horrific atrocities carried out by the occupying Roman overlords and their client rulers. All this and more is explored in this scholarly but highly accessible historical investigation.

Show More
Joan Taylor, a world authority on the history and literature of the first century CE, draws both on the latest archaeological findings and on the historical clues found within key texts of the period. The result is a book that brings the story of Jesus’ identity, birth and boyhood clearly to life as never before, while also pointing to the many ways in which his experiences as a child are likely to have influenced him in adulthood.

‘Boy Jesus is perhaps the most thorough, accessible and compelling contextual treatment of Jesus’ life to date. Everything from his tribal identity to his family and trade are given close examination. This book will be prized by anyone studying the historical Jesus or the Gospels, scholar or pastor alike.’

– Gary M. Burge, Adjunct Professor of New Testament, Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
