C. K. Barrett This is pretty old, and I doubt it's even in print. There are more modern versions of the same thing, but I don't happen to have one. Typical things included here are Roman documents, inscriptions, philosophers, Jewish historians, and various apocalyptic literature. They help you see patterns that are replicated in the Bible. |
