A review by 55thswiss
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

5.0

Extremely educational for a lay person like myself. Tons to think about and an excellent jumping off point on the NT. I would only say, as I've read a some of NT Wrights books this book was summarized from, I do with rhe section about the resurrection was a little longer. But still, excellent read, worth the month+ it took me to get thru
