Résumé
The Social History of the New Testament by George Bale offers a groundbreaking exploration of the vibrant world behind Christianity's foundational texts. Far beyond theology alone, this meticulously researched work reveals the daily lives, social struggles, and cultural dynamics of the early Christian communities in Roman Palestine and across the empire. From the bustling urban centers and rural villages to the kitchens where the first Eucharistic meals were shared, Bale brings to life the complex realities of class, gender, language, and power that shaped the New Testament's message.
Blending archaeological evidence, historical context, and close readings of scripture, this book uncovers how early Christians navigated imperial authority, economic hardship, religious diversity, and internal conflicts to forge a new identity rooted in hope, charity, and radical community. It highlights the crucial roles of women, slaves, and marginalized groups, and traces how mobility, missionary networks, and shared rituals sustained a faith that spread from Jerusalem to Rome and beyond.
Accessible yet scholarly, The Social History of the New Testament is essential reading for anyone eager to understand the human story behind one of history's most influential bodies of literature. Whether you are a student, academic, or curious reader, George Bale's vivid account offers fresh insights that will deepen your appreciation of Christianity's origins and its enduring social impact.
