The New Testament in Antiquity
A Survey of the New Testament within Its Cultural Context
Gary M. burge, Lynn H. cohick, And gene L. Green
“Complete with an extraordinary array of visual illustrations, this book covers important topics
needed for an introductory text in New Testament in a way that is both understandable and wellinformed.
It emphasizes many details that help students discover the biblical text in new ways
they would rarely get on their own.”
—craig s. keener, Asbury Theological Seminary
The New Testament in Antiquity skillfully develops how Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman cultures
formed the essential environment in which the New Testament authors wrote their books and
letters. Written by three scholars with over fifty years of combined experience in the classroom,
it shows readers how an understanding of the land, history, and culture of this world brings
remarkable new insights into how we read the New Testament itself. Throughout the book,
numerous features provide windows into the first-century world.
Features:
• Nearly 500 full-color photos, charts, maps, and drawings have been carefully selected.
• Additional features include numerous sidebars that integrate the book’s material with
issues of interpretation, ample discussion questions, and bibliographies.
• An instructor’s manual is also available.
