"History of New Testament Times" by Robert H. Pfeiffer is a comprehensive look at the historical and cultural context of the New Testament. It explores the political, social, and religious landscape of the time, including the rise and fall of empires, the spread of Hellenistic culture, and the development of Judaism. The book also includes an introduction to the Apocrypha, a collection of books not included in the Protestant Bible but considered canonical by the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Pfeiffer's work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the historical background of the New Testament and the early Christian church.
