The 'Dictionary of New Testament Background' joins the 'Dictionary
of Jesus and the Gospels', the 'Dictionary of Paul and his Letters'
and the 'Dictionary of the Later New Testament and its
Developments' as the fourth in a landmark series of reference works
on the Bible. In a time when our knowledge of the ancient
Mediterranean world has grown, this volume sets out for readers the
wealth of Jewish and Greco-Roman background that should inform our
reading and understanding of the New Testament and early
Christianity. 'The Dictionary of New Testament Background', takes
full advantage of the flourishing study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and
offers individual articles focused on the most important scrolls.
In addition, the Dictionary encompasses the fullness of
second-temple Jewish writings, whether pseudepigraphic, rabbinic,
parables, proverbs, histories or inscriptions. Articles abound on
aspects of Jewish life and thought, including family, purity,
liturgy and messianism. The full scope of Greco-Roman culture is
displayed in articles ranging across language and rhetoric,
literacy and book benefactors, travel and trade, intellectual
movements and ideas, and ancient geographical perspectives. No
other reference work presents so much in one place for students of
the New Testament. Here an entire library of scholarship is made
available in summary form. The Dictionary of New Testament
Background can stand alone, or work in concert with one or more of
its companion volumes in the series. Written by acknowledged
experts in their fields, this wealth of knowledge of the New
Testament era is carefully aimed at the needs of contemporary
students of the New Testament. In addition, its full bibliographies
and cross-references to other volumes in the series will make it
the first book to reach for in any investigation of the New
Testament in its ancient setting.
