LIFE IN YEAR ONE What the World Was Like in First-Century Palestine

Arthur Morey delivers this well-done account of the world in which Pontius Pilate, Jesus of Nazareth, Herod, and the Apostles walked, worked, and breathed. Easygoing in pace, Morey’s narration is more conversational than dramatic, a style that makes this detailed work accessible and interesting from the beginning. The large number of author’s notes adds to the listener’s understanding, but they easily could have bogged down the performance of this work. However, Morey skillfully reads the notes and then redirects the listener back to the main text without missing a beat. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2010]
