The historical background Christians need to know

Emil Schurer is a Jewish scholar. He chooses to believe that Jesus Christ was a historical person, and that he lived at a certain period which is commonly agreed with by Christians. What we learn in this excellent book is who the people among whom Jesus carried on his ministry. What were the political, spiritual, and personal lives of folks in the area and time really like? Whether you are Christian, Jew or Agnostic, this book will give you a richer understand of the life and times of the One that Christians hail as their Messiah.

Still a classic in the field

Schuerer's history is a classis in the field of the development of Judaism from the intertestamental period to the first century AD, esp. as it developed with the emerging Christian Church. His work is not, strictly speaking, a piece of church history; rather, it is a broad analysis of the religious, political, social, and economic dynamics that shaped both Judaism and Christianity.
