[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks Minister. I love your approach. Can you recommend an adult book that places the New Testament in historical/political context? Bonus points if it also discusses how many Christian religious traditions were actually "pagan" ceremonies adapted by Romans and others to appease competing communities/civilizations? [/quote] Sorry we derailed the thread! To answer, I really love this one. I've taken two continuing ed classes using this text and read the book several times. It is not an easy read. It can be really difficult to keep up with all the writers. But if you are interested in the politics, culture, language, possible writers and their motivations, and history that influenced sacred scripture, it's a great book. Just be prepared to take notes and keep lists. [url]http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/book-reviews/view/2720/reading-the-bible-again-for-the-first-time[/url][/quote]
