This first volume in the Christian Origins and the Question of God series provides a historical, theological, and literary study of first-century Judaism and Christianity. Wright offers a preliminary discussion of the meaning of the word 'god' within those cultures, as he explores the ways in which developing an understanding of those first-century cultures are of relevance for the modern world. By examining the history, social make-up, worldview, beliefs, and hope of Palestinian Judaism, Wright introduces you to the world of Judaism as situated within the world of Greco-Roman culture.
