Light From The Ancient East is a book written by Adolf Deissmann that explores the New Testament in light of recently discovered texts from the Graeco-Roman world. The book provides a detailed analysis of the cultural and historical context of the New Testament, drawing on a wide range of sources including papyri, inscriptions, and archaeological findings. Deissmann argues that these discoveries shed new light on the language, customs, and beliefs of the people who lived in the ancient world, and that they provide important insights into the meaning and significance of the New Testament. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the New Testament, such as the life of Jesus, the teachings of the apostles, and the early Christian community. Throughout the book, Deissmann emphasizes the importance of understanding the New Testament in its original context, and he provides readers with a wealth of information and analysis to help them do so. Overall, Light From The Ancient East is an insightful and engaging book that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and culture of the ancient world, as well as to those who are interested in the New Testament and its interpretation.This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
