The IVP Background Commentary: New Testament
By: Craig Keener

---

To understand and apply the Bible well, you need two crucial sources of information. One is simply the Bible itself. The other is an understanding of the cultural background to the passage you’re reading.
Only with the background can you grasp the author’s original concerns and purposes. This unique commentary provides, in verse-by-verse format, the crucial cultural background you need for responsible – and richer – Bible study.

Written in clear, nontechnical language, this invaluable aid includes:

*a glossary of cultural terms and important historical figures
*maps and charts
*an up-to-date bibliography of commentaries and other resources for each book of the New Testament
*introductory essays on the importance of cultural background and the uses of this unique commentary.
