The Jewish World around the New Testament
Renowned
biblical scholar Richard Bauckham believes that the New Testament texts
cannot be adequately understood without careful attention to their
Judaic and Second Temple roots. This book contains twenty-four studies
that shed essential light on the religious and biblical-interpretive
matrix in which early Christianity emerged. Bauckham discusses the
"parting of the ways" between early Judaism and early Christianity and
the relevance of early Jewish literature for the study of the New
Testament. He also explores specific aspects or texts of early
Christianity by relating them to their early Jewish context.
