The World that Shaped the New Testament

Calvin Roetzel outlines the social, political, religious and intellectual environment of the New Testament writers. He does this by mapping out the major features of the first-century landscape so that the student may be able to view the whole, and through the whole gain new insights into each part. Now fully revised and updated, The World that Shaped the New Testament remains the best available introduction to the subject.
