Excellent Aid for Understanding New Testament Times.

Tenney has written an excellent book on the historical framework for better understanding the New Testament times. Containing illustrations, charts, maps, and bibliography, the book covers the political scene just before Jesus' birth to the emperor Hadrian (about A.D. 138).Whether for personal Bible study or preparing a sermon or Bible study lesson, the title will help the reader better understand the political, social, and economic culture into which Jesus came to and after His death, burial, and resurrection.Read and enjoy.
