Finally: an introduction that captures the excitement of the early
Christians, helping today's readers to think like a first-century
believer while reading the text responsibly for today. The New
Testament in Its World is your passageway from the twenty-first
century to the era of Jesus and the first Christians. A
highly-readable, one-volume introduction placing the entire New
Testament and early Christianity in its original context, it is the
only such work by distinguished scholar and author N. T. (Tom)
Wright. An ideal guide for students, The New Testament in Its World
addresses the many difficult questions faced by those studying
early Christianity. Both large and small, these questions include:
What is the purpose of the New Testament? What was the
first-century understanding of the kingdom? What is the real
meaning of the resurrection in its original context? What really
were the Gospels? Who was Paul and why are his letters so
controversial? As twenty-first-century people, how do we recover
the excitement of what it was like to live as Christians in the
first or second centuries? In short, The New Testament in Its World
brings together decades of ground-breaking research, writing, and
teaching into one volume that will open readers' eyes to the larger
world of the New Testament. It presents the New Testament books as
historical, literary, and social phenomena located in the world of
Second Temple Judaism, amidst Greco-Roman politics and culture, and
within early Christianity. Written for both classroom and personal
use, the benefits of The New Testament in Its World include: A
distillation of the life work of N. T. Wright on the New Testament
with input from Michael Bird Historical context that situates Jesus
and the early church within the history, culture, and religion of

Testament Available Video and Workbook companion resources to
