The New Testament in Its World: Audio Lectures, Part 1 of 2: An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience.

Bird, these lectures serve as your passageway from the twenty-first century to the era of Jesus and the first Christians. In part 1, professors Wright and Bird will guide you through how to read the New Testament, the world of Jesus and the early church, approaches to studying the historical Jesus, the historical context of the death and resurrection of Jesus, and much more.
