The New Testament in antiquity
The New Testament in Antiquity skillfully develops how Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman cultures formed the essential environment in which the New Testament authors wrote their books and letters. Written by three scholars with over fifty years of combined experience in the classroom, it shows readers how an understanding of the land, history, and culture of this world brings remarkable new insights into how we read the New Testament itself. Throughout the book, numerous features provide windows into the first century world. Nearly 500 full-color photos, charts, maps, and drawings have been carefully selected. Additional features include numerous sidebars that integrate the book's material with issues of interpretation, ample discussion questions, and bibliographies. - Back cover
