Peter D SnowPeter Snow grew up in England during WW II. As a member of St. John's College, Cambridge, he studied academic theology. He was ordained a priest of the Church of England in Birmingham, where he served as a parish priest. Snow moved to the United Stats with his family in 1967 and has subsequently served churches in Santa Barbara, California; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; and Redmond and Mukilteo, Washington. While in Southern California, the author experienced the full force of the Cultural Revolution during the early seventies and subsequently helped develop alcohol treatment programs, battered women's protection and assistance programs, and posttraumatic stress studies. He also worked on minority youth issues and youth ministries. He became convinced the parish was where the rubber hit the road and worked continuously to figure out the principles of parish ministry. In particular, he dedicated much thought to how we as modern people living in the 20th century and now the 21st century, might hear and understand the teaching and person of Jesus of Nazareth. Insights gained from these activities, along with a lifetime of immersion in the study of the historic Jesus and his ministry, came together to illuminate this book. In introducing people to a believable Jesus of Nazareth, Snow has always sought to create a path for people to find their own way to faith. The author presently resides with his wife in Seattle, Washington. Read More Read Less
