The author hopes that for the student of the New Testament it is a useful introduction into the many complex aspects of the political, cultural, and religious developments that characterized the world in which early Christianity arose and by which the New Testament and other early Christian writings were shaped UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110814064 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110814064 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110814064/original ER -
