Unlocking New Testament Culture

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

Do you understand what it means to be part of the family of Christ the way the early Christians understood it?

In Artos’s latest conversation video, Dr. David deSilva, Trustees’ Distinguished Professor at Ashland Theological Seminary, discusses the cultural norms that shaped Scripture. He unpacks many common religious terms, such as grace and redemption, in light of their first-century meaning.

In his upcoming course, 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!

Check out this fascinating interview to deepen your understanding of the New Testament and the culture of the early church. Cultural World of the New Testament will be released in late November.
