Essential reading for any student of the New Testament, C.K.

Of course, Barrett gives the reader a thorough look at Judaism during the time that produced John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.

With everything from letters from everyday life to the Dead Sea Scrolls, C.K. Barrett’s classic work presents 280 ancient writings that bring the spiritual world of the first century vividly to life.C. K. Barrett is Professor of Divinity at the University of Durham, England.
