The Story Of The New Testament (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162958149)

The Story of the New Testament by Edgar J. Goodspeed is a comprehensive and accessible account of the events, people, and teachings that shaped the early Christian church. The book begins with a brief overview of the historical and cultural context in which the New Testament was written, including the political and religious climate of the Roman Empire and the Jewish world of Palestine. Goodspeed then provides a chronological retelling of the major events of the New Testament, from the birth of Jesus to the spread of Christianity throughout the Mediterranean world. He examines the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, including their views on morality, salvation, and the nature of God. The book also delves into the formation of the early Christian church, including the role of the apostles, the development of the New Testament canon, and the emergence of different Christian communities and sects. Goodspeed pays particular attention to the social and cultural factors that shaped the early church, including its relationship with Judaism, its interactions with Greco-Roman culture, and its struggles against persecution and opposition. Throughout the book, Goodspeed provides insights into the historical and literary context of the New Testament, drawing on his expertise as a New Testament scholar to offer a nuanced and detailed account of this important period in Christian history. The Story of the New Testament is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the origins of Christianity and the early Christian church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
