A Day in Capernaum

In A Day in Capernaum, Franz Delitzsch uses the earliest Jewish accounts of Jesus and the Gospel to imagine what it would have been like to experience his ministry. The intent was to provide a picture of intimacy with Jesus that reflects the character of Christ seen in the Gospels. The text recreates the journey to Capernaum from Jerusalem, Jesus’ healing of the paralytic let down through a house roof, a conversation with Mary, and ends with Jesus speaking to the multitudes on the Sea of Galilee. The text also includes a sketch of Franz Delitzsch’s life and work provided by the translator.
