What was life like for first-century Christians? Imagine a
modest-sized Roman home of a well-to-do Christian household wedged
into a thickly settled quarter of Corinth. In the lingering light
of a summer evening, men, women and children, merchants, working
poor and slaves, a mix of races and backgrounds have assembled in
the dimly lit main room are are spilling into the central
courtyard. This odd assortment of gathered believers--some thirty
in number--are attentive as the newly arrived and travel-weary
emissary from Paul reads from the papyrus scroll he has brought
from their apostolic mentor. But if you were to be transported to
this scene you would perhaps be overwhelmed by a flood of
unexpected difference. The voice of the reader recedes as through
open windows the din and clamor of the city assault your ears.
Hooves clunk and cart wheels grind and echo from the street while
drivers shout, vendors call and neighbors gather and converse. And
later, as you accompany a family through darkened and dangerous
streets to their third-story tenement apartment, you might try to
mask your shock at the cramped and unsafe conditions. InThe
Greco-Roman World of the New Testament Era James Jeffers provides
an informative and scenic tour of daily life during the time of
Jesus and the apostles. He affords "you-are-there" glimpses of
everything from legal codes to dinner foods, from social hierarchy
to apartment living, from education to family dynamics. His
eye-opening book will advance your understanding of the New
Testament and early Christianity and enrich your reading and
application of the Bible.
