Life In Palestine When Jesus Lived, A Short Handbook To The First Three Gospels by J Estlin Carpenter c 1935

This little book is intended to illustrate the first three Gospels. Its object is to present in a short a compass as possible such an account of the people from whom Jesus sprang, as shall enable readers of the Gospels, who have not access to larger works, to frame some notion of the society in which he laboured, and the ideas and institutions with which he had to deal. It is thus in one sense, an introduction to the study of his life and teachings, but it does not enter onto the wider field of gospel criticism and aims only at supplying the needful knowledge of the social and Religious Conditions of the Work of Jesus.
