'The writings of the New Testament are highly contextualized documents which offer unique responses to the common philosophical and religious questions of theirday. With crisp clarity, Burge lets us listen to three ancient guides who masterfully provide answers to the common street-level concerns about the nature of God and the way of life and death. Epictetus the Stoic, Philo the Jew, and the Christian author of 2 Peter line up to present their cases as Burge lets us hear their discussion in the ancient forum. This stellar study serves scholar and student alike who want to understand the New Testament message within its historical horizon and contemporary communicators of the Christian faith who need a model for presenting the gospel in a contextually relevant way.' - Gene Green, Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College First-Century Guides to Life and Death won Macquarie University's Chris Dixon Medal for the Best Thesis in Early Christian Thought and Experience.
