Light from the Ancient East: The New Testament Illustrated by Recently Discovered Texts of the Graeco-Roman World
By Adolph Deissmann.
Description
This invaluable study of non-literary Greek and Latin texts from the period leading up to and contemporary with the rise and early development of Christianity is once again available after being out of print for nearly a decade. Deissmann's work with inscriptions on stone, metal, papyrus, and potsherds has long been widely recognized for the light it sheds upon the New Testament in its historical and cultural context. Eighty-five illustrations further illumine the discussion of these texts. - from Amzon
