Jesus Wept: Understanding The Culture of Messiah (Equipping The Bride)

Who was Jesus Christ? How is it possible that a simple carpenter who lived 2000 years ago could have made such a huge impact on history and the human race in only thirty three years, with very little assistance from people and tremendous resistance from the Roman government and the organized church? Quite literally, Jesus made a profound impact on billions of people, even though his public ministry only lasted three years. In this sense, he is undoubtedly the most influential person in all of history.

In this book, Russell carefully examines the person, the personality, the motivations, the actions, the choices and the values of the historical Jesus Christ, inside of a cultural context. Without much speculation and primarily relying on the information that is available from the Bible itself, Russell explores some familiar scripture passages and stories about Jesus’ life and miracles, his friends and his followers and also his detractors and enemies, to try and understand who he was, as a person. A person who lived in a completely different world from the world we now live in.

Jesus Wept will open your eyes to perspectives about the historical Jesus Christ that you may have never even considered before.
