Your ticket from the twenty-first century to the era of Jesus and
the first Christians. A readable, one-volume introduction placing
the entire New Testament and early Christianity in its original
context, written by distinguished scholar and author N. T. Wright.
An ideal guide for students, The New Testament in Its World
addresses the many difficult questions faced by those studying
early Christianity, including: What was the first century
understanding of the Kingdom of God? What is the meaning of the
resurrection in its original context? What were the Gospels, and
how did they come about? Who was Paul and why are his letters so
controversial? Written for both classroom and personal use, this
book brings together decades of ground-breaking research, writing,
and teaching into one volume. It presents the New Testament
books-along with their subjects: Jesus and the early church-within
the historical and social context of Second Temple Judaism and
Greco-Roman politics and culture. The New Testament in Its World
allows you to recover the excitement of what it was like to live as
Christians in the first or second centuries. Features include:
Surveys of each New Testament book that discuss their significance
and provides commentary on their contents, along with implications
for the Christian life. Major sections on the historical Jesus, the
resurrection of Jesus, and Paul's chronology and theology.
Up-to-date discussions of textual criticism and the canonization of
the New Testament. Frequent illustrations, maps, charts, diagrams,
and artwork provide additional explanations and insights. A
distillation of the life work of N. T. Wright on the New Testament
with input from Michael Bird. Also available are Video and Workbook
companion resources (sold separately) to enhance learning and
experience the world of the New Testament.
