Kenneth E. Bailey is uniquely qualified as a teacher having lived and taught in the Middle East for over 40 years. Yet, Bailey is not my favorite author because of his knowledge, he is my favorite author because he helps me see Jesus' heart more clearly. And as a result, I’ve caught glimpses of God’s boundless love, and I’ve seen new life breathed into my otherwise dead marriage. Please note, Bailey is also a language scholar in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and other Middle Eastern languages.
