Middle Eastern Jesus

Every culture shapes its image of God and interprets Scripture through its own assumptions - often missing the richness of the text. Nadim Nassar invites readers to step into Jesus' world and see the Gospels through Middle Eastern eyes. Drawing on his heritage and deep knowledge of Middle Eastern culture, language, and Scripture, Nadim Nassar invites readers to encounter Jesus not only as a figure of faith but as a living presence within a region marked today by violence, upheaval, and profound human suffering. In a time when the Levant is torn by political instability, religious extremism, and deep social fractures, this book explores how the peace revealed in Christ confronts cycles of hatred and opens a path toward reconciliation, healing, and restorative justice at both personal and communal levels. With fresh insight into key parables and central Christian themes - faith, love, discipleship, sacrifice, and witness - he opens a window onto the world that shaped Jesus and transforms how we read his words today.
