In the Mail: Malina's The New Testament World

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.
