About this ebook
Written by Scribd Editors
Explore the land, history, and culture of the world in which the New Testament was written, with an ideal introductory text for classroom use, with ample discussion questions and bibliographies.
An enlightening textbook written by three evangelical scholars with over fifty years of combined experience in the classroom. The New Testament in Antiquity finds equilibrium between challenging students to explore the depths of the New Testament within its cultural worlds while still being an approachable text.
Colleagues Gary M. Burge, Lynn H. Cohick and Gene L. Green came together to create a text that would be relevant for the modern student, containing rich illustrations and academically robust content. The book meticulously examines how Jewish and Hellenistic cultures formed the environment needed for the New Testament authors to pen their books and letters. Informative sidebars are inserted throughout the textbook to provide insightful looks into the Jewish, Hellenistic and Roman worlds, and integrate this evidence directly with the literary interpretation of the New Testament.
