Summary: The New Testament Environment
Comment: This volumne by one of Germany's foremost evangelical scholars rates along with F.F. Bruce's New Testament History as the most through introduction to New testament background that anyone can acquire. Professor Dr. Lohse's command of the primary sources is evident throughout the work. Personally I feel this volumne is a must read for a positive and sound conceptualization of the world within which the NT story developed.
