Humans have long shared a fascination for discovering the origins behind things we’re already familiar with. We love to learn the little-known facts, the striking truths, ”the rest of the story.” So, if you thought you were already familiar with the New Testament, this study will draw you into the intrigue of discovery, and have you regularly saying, “I never knew that!”
Bible scholars N.T. Wright and Michael F. Bird, who between them have written over one hundred books on theology and the New Testament, team up to take us on a tour of the story behind the story of the New Testament. By discovering things you never knew about the setting of Jesus’ birth, the events of his ministry, the meaning of his death and resurrection, and the birth and expansion of the early church, you will uncover new significance in familiar texts, and in doing so the Scriptures will impact your life in a way they never have before.
