New Course: Cultural World of the New Testament

Are you looking for a way to deepen your understanding of the New Testament?

In Artos’s latest course, Dr. David deSilva, Trustees’ Distinguished Professor at Ashland Theological Seminary, explores the cultural norms that influenced New Testament Scripture.

In Cultural World of the New Testament, Dr. deSilva unlocks four aspects of New Testament culture that are crucial to our understanding of early Christianity: honor, patronage, kinship, and purity. Through this lens, you will see more clearly what Paul and the other writers were teaching about what it means to be a Christian—then and now!

As you move into the Advent season, dive into this fascinating study of the culture of the early church.
