New Testament Times

New Testament Times is a short reconstruction of the cultural background in which Christianity arose and developed from the time of the Maccabean Revolt to A.D. 138. The book begins with an explanation of the relevance of the historical, political, social, and economic background during the first century which helps furnish a proper understanding of the New Testament.

Dr. Tenney takes into account all the possible historical sources -- canonical and non-canonical, literary and archaeological.

The book includes 130 illustrations, 3 original maps, 6 helpful charts, 4 exhaustive indexes, and a detailed bibliography.
