First Christians

By Rev. Raymond Talavera (New York, NY) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: First Christians: Pentecost and the spread of Christianity (Hardcover) When I first read this book years ago, it was of immense help to me in my understanding of the book of Acts. Paul Meir's presentation of the background to the biblical events proved both educational and frankly fascinating. I read it repeatedly over the years, and it always seemed to be a fresh, new reading. I made the mistake of loaning it to someone (I've long since forgotten who) who never returned it, and now it's unfortunatey out of print. But thank God for Amazon, who has just found a copy for me! I will treasure it among my collection of Bible study aids, and recommend it to everyone reading this review. God's peace be with you!
