Dr. Arne Kislenko, Associate Professor of History at Ryerson University and instructor at Trinity College, Toronto, hosts this National Geographic series on 3 major aspects of life at the time of Jesus: jobs, illness and healing, and crime and punishment. Along the way he talks to archeologists and experts, including locals with knowledge of the customs still handed down. He takes us to various sites in Israel and learns a lot of the everyday details not found in the Bible or indeed most general histories of the person. This is of interest not merely to people of faith but to
those who love history and ancient cultures.
