Many thanks to Westminster John Knox Press for sending over a review copy of Bruce Malina’s unique New Testament introduction, The New Testament World: Insights from Cultural Anthropology! This is a standard text for Scott Bartchy for many of his classes at UCLA. I actually haven’t read the book yet, so I thought it’d be a good opportunity to review it while I also get to see how it’s used in a class for undergrads this fall.

Looks like a good one. I haven’t read Malina, but I hear that pretty much everything that he (and Pilch as well) produces is worth its weight in gold. I look forward to your review.
Hi Nick, I look forward to reading it. I have only read bits and pieces of Malina and Pilch, but they are right up my alley, so be looking for more on them in the future on my blog.
I love this book. It was a textbook for a Gospel of John class when I was at Truett. It came in helpful when writing a paper on Jesus at the wedding at Cana.
