Essential to an
understanding of the New Testament is a comprehension of the individuals,
events, and social movements that shaped the setting from which Jesus and his
followers emerged. Unfortunately, many accounts by historians can leave readers
feeling overwhelmed and confused. New Testament History provides a worthy
solution to this problem. A well-known expert on the social situation of the
New Testament, Ben Witherington offers an engaging look into the world that
gave birth to the Christian faith.

Ben Witherington tells the
tale of New Testament History, beginning way back in the 4th century BC with
Alexander's conquest of the western world. Alexander's philosophy of spreading
Greek culture and wisdom throughout the world affected the culture and milieu
of the New Testament world.
