reviewed Backgrounds of Early Christianity on October 09, 2020 Backgrounds of Early Christianity
A must-own for any Christian. You *will* understand the NT better after reading this book. Jesus' world comes to life in these pages. From Greco-Roman history to Jewish debates on the Sabbath, Ferguson leaves no stone unturned (literal stones - there are fascinating descriptions of archeological discoveries). I see myself regularly returning to this book.
