Description
This series concentrates on the increasing knowledge of first-century Palestine from literary and archaeological sources, and how they throw light on the world in which Jesus lived and taught. Such information helps us to understand better Jesus' aims and methods, and how ordinary people might have been expected to respond to him. All in all, this series aims to enable the student to understand and present Jesus more effectively as a real figure of history.
Richard T. France has taught at London Bible College and was principal of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, from 1989 to 1995. He is the author of Matthew in the Tyndale New Testament Commentary Series, The Evidence of Jesus, and Jesus and the Old Testament
