Jesus: A Pilgrimage – A New York Times Bestselling Meditation on Christ, Scripture, and Faith in the Holy Land

<p>James Martin, SJ, gifted storyteller, editor at large of America magazine, popular media commentator, and <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything</em>, brings the Gospels to life in <em>Jesus: A Pilgrimage</em>, and invites believers and seekers alike to experience Jesus through Scripture, prayer and travel.</p><p>Combining the fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual insights about the Christ of faith, Father Martin recreates the world of first-century Galilee and Judea to usher you into Jesus's life and times and show readers how Jesus speaks to us today. Martin also brings together the most up-to-date Scripture scholarship, wise spiritual reflections, and lighthearted stories about traveling through the Holy Land with a fellow (and funny) Jesuit, visiting important sites in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.</p><p>The person at the heart of the Gospels can seem impossibly distant. Stories about his astonishing life and ministry€"clever parables that upended everyone's expectations, incredible healings that convinced even skeptics, nature miracles that dazzled the dumbstruck disciples€"can seem far removed from our own daily lives, hard to understand, and at times irrelevant. But in Jesus you will come to know him as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother.</p>
