520    "In Jesus of Arabia, the Reverend Canon Andrew Thompson 
       introduces an unfamiliar Jesus--Jesus in the context of 
       his home in the Middle East. Whether readers believe Jesus
       to be a prophet or the messiah, Thompson enhances our 
       understanding of his work and character by looking at his 
       social context as a man and Middle Easterner. Jesus's 
       teachings take on new meaning as Thompson explores themes 
       including family in Arabia, gender roles in the region, 
       food culture, and more. Jesus of Arabia looks at the 
       bridges between Islam and Christianity through the figure 
       of Jesus and how the two communities may reflect each 
       other despite their differences. Thompson draws on his 
       experience as a priest in the Anglican Church and his many
       years living in the Middle East to analyze the often 
       conflicting roles and loyalties concerning family, culture,
       and God. A timely and incisive work, Jesus of Arabia 
       invites us to consider contemporary views of the Middle 
       East and how a figure like Jesus might be received today"-
