Greco Roman and Jewish Tributaries to the New TestamentThis volume explores the Greco-Roman and Jewish origins of the New Testament and early Christianity. It pays particular attention to the gospels and the traditions which places those sacred texts. Dr. Riley, a graduate of Harvard’s program, has distinguished himself as an original and independent voice within the field of New Testament and Christian Origins. In an age when the quickest, surest (and easiest) way to rise through the ranks of Biblical scholarship is to master the art of derivative scholarship, Dr. Riley has consistently taken the path less traveled, publishing only when he had something truly original and significant to say. |
