Kenneth E. Bailey

Kenneth E. Bailey (1930–2016) was an American theologian, author and scholar who spent over forty years living and teaching in the Middle East. His books and audiobooks, including The Good Shepherd, offer deeply informed, culturally rich interpretations of biblical texts, drawing on his intimate knowledge of Middle Eastern culture, language and traditions. Bailey's work has been widely praised for illuminating scripture in ways that Western readers and listeners might otherwise miss, making his audiobooks valuable for anyone interested in theology and biblical studies.
