Isaac Asimov turns his attention to the New Testament, the second volume of his guide to the Bible. Rather than reading the scriptures only as sacred text, he looks at the events they describe through the lenses of history, geography and the lives of the people involved. He explains the settings of the stories, the places where they unfolded and the figures who appear in them, helping readers see how these accounts fit into the world of their time. The result is a clear and curious companion for anyone who wants to understand the background of these writings.
