Our Orthodox Holy Family: A Joyful Journey with Jesus and Mary - Paperback

by Deacon David Lochbihler J. D. (Author)

Sacred Scripture quotes Jesus Christ only once during the first thirty years of His life on earth. The twelve-year-old asks two precise and profound questions: "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business (Luke 2:49 NKJV)? Other translations say "about My Father's house." Neither the Greek word for "business" nor "house" is found within this pivotal verse. For centuries Biblical scholars delved deeply into this interpretive predicament. Deacon David combines extensive research and superb storytelling to bring the historical drama and dilemma of Luke 2:49 to life.
