Mobile Ed: NT311 The World of Jesus and the Gospels

by Craig A. Evans

Gain clarity in your reading of the Gospels with a study of the intertestamental period. The decline of the Persian Empire, the rise of Alexander the Great, Israel’s military engagements and religious movements—the events between the final book of the Old Testament and the first Gospel are a backdrop for Christ’s appearance and the development of Christianity. Intertestamental history clarifies the context of the New Testament for a deeper, more robust understanding of Scripture.

Reviews

[Mark Barnes · Rating 4 out of 5]

7/10 (good): I'm a big fan of Craig Evans, but I was slightly disappointed with this Mobile Ed course. There's nothing wrong with it — it's solid, and covers all the necessary ground. But it's a little pedestrian, and there's no real flair. Workmanlike.
