When Jesus Was a Boy

by William Justice

Overview

What was it like to be a boy growing up in Nazareth, a small hillside village in the land of Galilee? In what kind of house did the boy live? What did he eat? Why did everyone expect war to erupt at any moment? Only three and a half miles away, down in the valley, he could see the great city of Sepphoris, the capital of Galilee and the site of one of Herod’s six castles. Why had the Romans crucified 2000 men there when He was eleven? Why did his people assume that the coming Messiah would be a great warrior?
When Jesus Was a Boy looks at the environment in which the young Jesus lived. Sixty footnotes refer the reader to the many reliable sources and an appendix discusses the sources. Also, this book provides a bibliography of seventy worthy books from which much of the information was drawn.
