The Gospels tell us about Jesus’ adult life, with scant references to his childhood.
We can catch glimpses of the younger Jesus' life, but there’s so much we don’t know.
But if we move beyond the Bible, we can learn about the world the younger Jesus lived in.
Growing up a refugee, in a land under foreign occupation, and a region full of militia groups, it’s worth asking: How did the turbulent background of the boy Jesus affect His message … and the whole of Christianity?
