4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book on the Cultural Backgrounds of Scripture,
By Jeremy D. Myers "Writing at Till He Comes .org" (Westtown, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Cultural World of the Apostles: The Second Reading, Sunday by Sunday, Year B (Cultural World of Jesus: Sunday by Sunday) (Paperback)
The entire "Cultural World" series by John Pilch is great.
Each chapter contains insights into the Greco-Roman Mediterranean world and Jewish backgrounds of Scripture so that modern readers can better understand the biblical text, and what it means for today. The book contains 56 chapters, each focusing on a passage of Scripture. The chapters are short and easy to read, and would provide a source for great devotions, Bible studies, or sermon aids. My only complaint is that I wish he had put the Biblical text next to the chapter titles in the Table of Contents.

Concise,

This review is from: The Cultural World of the Apostles: The Second Reading, Sunday by Sunday, Year B (Cultural World of Jesus: Sunday by Sunday) (Paperback)
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Pilch twice here in the Hampton Roads area. His presentations on The Gospels, the culture during New Testament times really helps one to visualize the Scripture.
Each of his books, deal with the particular cycle of the Liturgical Year and corresponds with the readings ( Gospels) for that time period. I recommend that if possible, to obtain, the Cultural World of the Apostles for Cycles A and C, as well as B and also to obtain The Cultural World of Jesus for all three cycles. A great wealth of information for laity! Or for priests!
