The New Testament writings are the foundations of early Christianity, and to fully understand them we need a broad historical awareness of the wider social, economic, political and religious context that produced them. Here, Telford paints a fascinating portrait of the Roman and Hellenistic Empires and the growth of the early church, elucidating the composition and content of the Synoptic Gospels - those of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Furnishing the reader with an appreciation of the methods contemporary scholars apply to the Gospels, he also offers a guide to the texts themselves.
