The New Testament in Its World is your passageway from the twenty-first century to the era of Jesus and the first Christians. It is a highly readable, one volume introduction placing the entire New Testament and early Christianity in its original context. The New Testament in Its World brings together decades of groundbreaking 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.
Everyone who joins us us on campus for the virtual launch of The New Testament in Its World, co-authored by N.T. Wright and Michael F. Bird, will have the chance to enter a draw for a free copy of the book. We hope to see you there!
