Resumen del Editor

Finally: an introduction that captures the excitement of the early Christians, helping today's listeners to think like a first-century believer while listening to the text responsibly for today.

The New Testament in Its World: Part 2 is your passageway from the twenty-first century to the era of Jesus and the first Christians. An introduction placing the entire New Testament and early Christianity in its original context, it is the only such work by distinguished scholar and author N. T. (Tom) Wright.

An ideal guide for students, The New Testament in Its World: Part 2 addresses the many difficult questions faced by those studying early Christianity. Both large and small, these questions include:

  • What is the purpose of the New Testament?
  • What was the first-century understanding of the kingdom?
  • What is the real meaning of the resurrection in its original context?
  • What really were the Gospels?
  • Who was Paul and why are his letters so controversial?
  • As twenty-first-century people, how do we recover the excitement of what it was like to live as Christians in the first or second centuries?

In short, The New Testament in Its World: Part 2 brings together decades of ground-breaking research, writing, and teaching that will open listeners' 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.

Written for both classroom and personal use, the benefits of The New Testament in Its World: Part 2 include:

  • A distillation of the life work of N. T. Wright on the New Testament with input from Michael Bird
  • Historical context that situates Jesus and the early church within the history, culture, and religion of Second Temple Judaism and the Greco-Roman world
  • Major sections on the historical Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus, and Paul's chronology and theology
  • Surveys of each New Testament book that discuss their significance, critical topics like authorship and date, and that provide commentary on contents along with implications for the Christian life
  • Up-to-date discussions of textual criticism and the canonization of the New Testament
  • A concluding chapter dedicated to living the story of the New Testament

Accompanying figures, tables, images, and reference materials are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Marvelous Tell of First and Second-Century Times

N.T. Wright and Michael Bird did a magnificent job explaining the world of early believers of Jesus and the hurdles they faced. Divided into nine parts, they looked at the reasons for the New Testament; Jesus’s world (and that of the disciples and surrounding cultures); what resurrection meant to Greek, Roman, and Jewish folk; the authors; and much more.

The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the images/tables that were told of in an accompanying pdf file. Also, the reading was slow, so I sped it up—an easy task. Aside from that, fantastic reading of great scholarship! Ironically, when the authors spoke of how books were copied in the old days, and how a line could be skipped/omitted, only here was a line skipped. (I followed along in the nearly 900-page book. Otherwise, it would not have been noticed.) Great work to both the authors and the narrator!
