The New Testament in Its World: Audio Lectures, Part 2 of 2: An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians

Written by N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird

Narrated by N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, The New Testament in Its World: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Enter the world of the New Testament. A companion to The New Testament in Its World by N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird, these lectures serve as your passageway from the twenty-first century to the era of Jesus and the first Christians. In part 2, professors Wright and Bird detail the apostle Paul's life, ministry, and theology; every book of the New Testament, with particularly close analysis to the Pauline epistles, the Gospels, and Acts; how the New Testament came to be; and how to live the New Testament story today.

• Galatians                    
• 1 and 2 Thessalonians
• Philippians      
• Colossians, Philemon, and Ephesians
