Description

The New Testament in Antiquity is a textbook for college and seminary students penned by three evangelical scholars with over fifty years of combined experience in the school room. Their challenge was once to build a text that might be engaging, academically robust, richly illustrated, and relevant to the up to date student. This book strikes a balance between being accessible to all students and challenging them to explore the depths of the New Testament within its cultural worlds.The New Testament in Antiquity carefully develops how Jewish and Hellenistic cultures formed the crucial environment wherein the New Testament authors wrote their books and letters. It argues that knowing the land, history, and culture of this world brings remarkable new insights into how we read the New Testament itself. A large number of sidebars provide windows into the Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman worlds and integrate this material straight away with the translation of the literature of the New Testament. This is a perfect introductory text for classroom use, with ample discussion questions and bibliographies.
