Liberating the Gospels

In Liberating the Gospels a bishop invites readers to re-examine the New Testament by restoring the Gospels to their original Jewish context. The book contends that many passages become clearer when read against first‑century Jewish life, language, and practice.

Combining historical background with close reading, the author explores how cultural and religious settings influence interpretation. The result is a measured, scholarly perspective that reframes familiar scenes and teachings without doctrinal advocacy.

Useful for Bible study groups, students of religious studies, clergy, and readers seeking a contextual approach to the Gospels.
