"Where does one go to find a book that provides a clear, simple description of what life was like in the time of Jesus and the apostles? There has been no obvious answer to this question until now. In this ourstanding work, James Jeffers has put together a fascinating and engaging treatment of daily life in the world of the New Testament on topics ranging from what people ate for dinner to apartment life in Rome. A careful reading of this book will help many passages in the New Testament come alive." -- Clinton E. Arnold
