The Sorry Tale: A Story of the Time of Christ - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This new edition of A Sorry Tale reproduces the majestic, spiritual story of ordinary people living in ancient Judea during the time of Jesus Christ. Equal parts history and narrative, A Sorry Tale attempts to present the life of Jesus as an event within the lives of a group of ordinary people. Their daily lives, the sights and sounds of Judea, the bustle of the marketplace, the culture of Roman governance, and the reaction of the city to the arrival of Jesus, whose fame grows as ever-larger crowds attending the sermons. Patience Worth takes effort to build a living, breathing world around Judea, rich in details corroborated by historical studies. Melding the philosophical and spiritual with her studies of Biblical and other records of the period, Patience Worth’s stories are unique and thought-provoking. Questions surrounding human religiosity, the social position of the protagonists, and the interplay of Christ’s moral message with the political hierarchy, are considered in Worth’s narrative.
