The Ivp Bible Background Commentary by Craig S. Keener
New Testament
A concise, verse-by-verse guide to the New Testament that illuminates the historical, cultural, and social worlds of the first-century Mediterranean context. Drawing on ancient literature, inscriptions, and archaeological findings, it clarifies customs, idioms, institutions, and rhetorical practices that underlie the text. Designed as a background resource rather than a theological commentary, it helps readers bridge the gap between modern assumptions and the original setting for clearer, more accurate interpretation.
