Jesus by James Martin

4.0

As a fan of Father James Martin through his media appearances, this reader was not disappointed in the breezy and engaging style with which Martin recounts his brief, but thorough pilgrimage in the holy land. Self-deprecating humor mixed with devout wonder and impeccable scholarship make this an enjoyable read. Martin juxtaposes his experiences in the contemporary locations of Christ's biblical appearances with a detailed account of the historical & spiritual context of each story. The result is an entertaining and powerfully illuminating book. Highly recommended.
