New Testament

The New Testament—or New Covenant—is one of the most profoundly disruptive documents in world history. The birth of Christ marks even the beginning of a new era of time—A.D. Anno Domini.   Written in the mid-late first century, the New Testament connects the birth of Christ to the messianic prophesies of the Old Testament, and so much more. As we journey through the accounts of firsthand eyewitnesses, relatives of Jesus and even enemies turned into allies, a story unfolds of epic proportions.  Journey into a world full of political tension, superstition, and a world rife with polytheism and cultic ritual. Written amidst the violent rule of the Roman Empire, the threat of death or torture is ever present. In fact, most New Testament authors will be martyred for their faith.   It is in this hostile environment, however, that each author produces the theological masterpieces that define Christianity even today.
