A review by nbarrett17
The New Testament in Its World: An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians by Michael F. Bird, N.T. Wright

challenging hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced

5.0

I read and studied this throughout the entire year, and I enjoyed it so much!

The structure is amazing, and it really digs deep into the culture, development, content, dating, authorship, genre, and purpose of the New Testament in full. 

I would highly recommend this for any Christian looking to deepen their understanding of the New Testament and read it from the perspective that should be read; not simply with Western eyes.
