Together the two volumes that constitute the handbook in its much  revised form provide a comprehensive reference resource for new  testament scholars looking to understand the classical world in which  Paul lived and work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter provides an overview of a  particular social convention, literary of rhetorical topos, social  practice, or cultural mores of the world in which Paul and his audiences  were at home. In addition, the sections use carefully chosen examples  to demonstrate how particularly features of Greco-Roman culture shed  light on Paul's letters and on his readers' possible perception of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor  the new edition all the contributions have been fully revised to take  into account the last ten years of methodological change and the helpful  chapter bibliographies fully updated.
