    Logos Bookstores' Best Book

    "The Lord is my shepherd."

    Thus begins the most beloved of all Psalms—and thus begins a thousand-year journey through the Bible.
    Prophets, apostles and Jesus himself took up this image from David, reshaping it, developing it and applying it
    to their own situations and needs. Kenneth Bailey uses his celebrated insights into Middle Eastern culture and
    especially his familiarity with Middle Eastern shepherding customs to bring new light and life to our
    understanding of this central image of the Christian faith.

    With each of nine major Old and New Testament passages, Bailey reveals the literary artistry of the Biblical
    writers and summarizes their key theological features. His work is also enriched by his unique access to very early
    Middle Eastern commentaries on these passages, bringing fresh understanding from within the mindset of these
    ancient worlds. The Good Shepherd invites us to experience a rich, biblical feast of ethical, theological and
    artistic delights.

    REVIEWS

    "Deftly wielding the tools of biblical scholarship, story-telling and cultural exegesis, Ken Bailey has restored to its
    full color and brilliance one of the most magnificent images of Scripture—the character and work of the Good
    Shepherd. This book is a treasure trove of useable insights for preachers and teachers and a devotional classic for
    daily disciples alike."
