Discovering the Counter-Cultural Jesus

"Who do you say that I am?"The question Jesus asked his disciples is more challenging than ever as cultural worldviews clash with traditional, faith-based beliefs.
In Discovering the Counter-Cultural Jesus, Dr. Larry Selig attempts to answer Jesus' question using the Gospel of Mark combined with his personal experiences gained through leading biblical study tours of the Holy Land. Through first-century evidence, he provides new insights and understanding about the counter-cultural Jesus, who he was, and why he came.
If you've taken a biblical study tour to the Holy Land, this book will bring back memories and provide additional insights on the life and miraculous ministry of Jesus. If you haven't visited Israel, you'll be able to experience the first century ministry of Jesus without leaving home.
Discovering the Counter-Cultural Jesus is a thought-provoking armchair tour of the area in Israel where Jesus walked, taught, performed miracles, and began a ministry followed by billions of people around the world today. It's beautifully illustrated with color photographs taken by Dr. Selig and many of the pilgrims who joined him on Holy Land tours over the years.
