Life in Year One: What the World Was Like in… di Scott Korb

Many who read the Bible, use the New Testament to define contemporary behavior. However, one can not truly understand the New Testament without first understanding what life in first century Palestine.

Although this book is scholarly, it is readable and should be a companion piece to any serious study of the New Testament.

Life in Year One: What the World Was Like in… di Scott Korb
