New Testament History, Culture, and Society

For those looking for background information about the New Testament, I thought I would post notice of a new book:



The book is organized thematically by topic. It is not a scriptural commentary, but rather a series of essays that might be helpful to those who wish further information about a particular topic.

There are sections on

• the Jewish background of the New Testament, 
• the Greco-Roman background, 
• Jesus, 
• Paul, 
• New Testament issues, 
• the text of the New Testament, 
• and the time immediately after the New Testament. 

Within those sections, essays focus on a particular topic. An index and a citation index round off the volume.
