The New Testament World, Third Edition

Ancient Palestine's values seem quite different from the modern industrial West's. Bruce Malina, long in the forefront of cultural anthropology, illumines questions of honor and shame, individual vs. group identity, envy and the evil eye, kinship and marriage, cleanness vs. uncleanness. This third edition has been revised and expanded, offering new chapters on envy and the Jesus movement, updates chapters from earlier editions, augments the bibliography and has tear out study pages for students.

The New Testament World, Third Edition introduces students to both the New Testament and the world of the New Testament through social scientific study. This new edition of New Testament World first published in 1981 (revised in 1993) contains two additional chapters, an updated the bibliography and perforated, tear-out study questions.

Bruce Malina is Professor in the Department of Theology at Creighton University.
