Summary: <p>Wouldn't it be great to be able to climb into a time machine and go back to the days of Jesus—to actually walk through the temple in Jerusalem, or to watch Roman legionnaires marching through the streets of the city of Caesarea! Or maybe to glimpse Herod the Great looking out across the Dead Sea from his palace at Masada. We can't travel back in time, but this week's guest has done the next best thing. Dr. Bill Marty, a professor of Bible at Moody Bible Institute, has written <em>The World of Jesus</em> , a book that helps bring to life the people and places of Jesus' day.</p><p>Our devotional during this celebration of Hanukkah takes us back to the time of the Maccabees to focus on the importance of taking a stand for God.</p>
