The New Testament in Its World: Audio Lectures, Part 2 of 2

An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians

By: N. T. Wright, Michael F. Bird

Narrated by: N. Wright, Michael F. Bird

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, The New Testament in Its World: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Enter the world of the New Testament. A companion to The New Testament in Its World by N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird, these lectures serve as your passageway from the twenty-first century to the era of Jesus and the first Christians. In part 2, professors Wright and Bird detail the apostle Paul's life, ministry, and theology; every book of the New Testament, with particularly close analysis to the Pauline epistles, the Gospels, and Acts; how the New Testament came to be; and how to live the New Testament story today.

Part 2 includes lectures on:

• Galatians
• 1 and 2 Thessalonians
• Philippians
• Colossians, Philemon, and Ephesians
• 1 and 2 Corinthians
• Romans
• The Pastoral Epistles
• The Gospel According to Mark
• The Gospel According to Matthew
• The Gospel According to Luke and Acts of the Apostles
• The Gospel According to John
• The Making of the Gospels
• Introduction to Early Christian Letters
• The Letter to the Hebrews
• Letters by Jesus' Brothers: James and Jude
• Petrine Letters: 1 and 2 Peter
• Johannine Letters: 1, 2, and 3 John
• Revelation
• Introduction to Textual Criticism of the New Testament
• The Canonization of the New Testament
• Bringing It All Together--Living the Story of the New Testament

A must listen

This two part series is interesting, scholarly, and a must listen for both believers and unbelievers interested in the New Testament and its development and application. The lectures are well researched and compelling.

Understanding the Story of Jesus - Part 2

Tom Wright and Michael Bird combine to present and unequalled understanding of the Gospels, Paul's and other letters, Hebrews and Revelations. Their combined tag-team presentation provides a remarkable approach for learning and understanding.

This is a teaching that will bless over and over!

Thank you Mr Wright and Mr Bird. You have challenged me in so many different levels. I love the Word and am always hungry for more. This is definitely a teaching that I will return to regularly!

GREAT Book

Really enjoy N T Wright and after enjoying Vol 1 this is a great addition to my library

New Testament

A text book for my courses on route to becoming an ordained pastor. Not all reading is easy and yet when I know better, I shall do better. I enjoyed the authors themselves doing the reading.
