Description
The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament provides in-depth cultural background information for responsible and richer Bible study. This verse-by-verse commentary is based on decades of study by Craig Keener, one of the leading New Testament scholars on Jewish, Greek and Roman culture. To understand the author's original concerns and purposes, it is essential to grasp the cultural context of each passage. The commentary includes a glossary of cultural terms and important historical figures, maps and charts, up-to-date bibliographies, and introductory essays about cultural background information for each book of the New Testament. This commentary is valuable for pastors in sermon preparation, Sunday-school teachers, missionaries, college and seminary students, and everyday Bible readers seeking to deepen their study of Scripture.
