The timeless message of the New Testament applies to people of
every culture and generation. Yet there is great value in
understanding the world in which that message was first revealed -
its social manners, politics, religious customs, and culture.
Exploring the New Testament World, written by classics and Bible
scholar Dr. Albert A. Bell, Jr., illuminates the living context of
the New Testament, immersing its readers in the intriguing world of
Jesus and the early church.
An authority on ancient Greek and Roman language, culture, and
history, Dr. Bell writes in a readable style that is accessible and
enjoyable to any reader - an uncommon accomplishment among New
Testament scholars today. Surveying Jewish factions of the era, the
social and political structure of the Roman Empire, and the
philosophies and religions that surrounded the early church, Dr.
Bell helps his readers learn to think like first-century Jews,
Greeks, and Romans, illuminating puzzling New Testament passages
for clear understanding. Comprehensive Scripture and Subject
Indexes make this volume even more useful as a "manners and
customs" Bible companion.
This authoritative guide receives high praise from college
professors and Sunday school teachers alike, proving its appeal to
both popular and academic audiences. A "must-have" reference for
every pastor and an indispensable resource to any Bible reader.
