Product Description

""The First Christian Century: Notes on Dr. Moffatt's Introduction to the Literature of the New Testament"" by William M. Ramsay is a scholarly work that provides an in-depth analysis of the literature of the New Testament. The book is a commentary on the introduction to the New Testament written by James Moffatt, a prominent scholar of the early 20th century. Ramsay's commentary focuses on the historical context of the New Testament and the events that shaped the early Christian church. He explores the cultural, social, and political factors that influenced the development of Christianity in the first century. Ramsay's work is based on extensive research and draws on his expertise in archaeology and ancient history. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the New Testament.1911. Ramsay, the first Professor of Classical Archaeology at Oxford University, pioneered the study of antiquity in what is today known as western Turkey. He went on to devote the latter part of his life to applying what he had learned to the study of the New Testament. He is also acknowledged as the outstanding authority on the life of Paul.
