Jeffers’ book The Greco-Roman World of the New Testament Era: Exploring the Background of Early Christianity. It is both informative and enjoyable. In his chapter on “Life and Death in the First Century” he recommends the following books for further reading:

Labor and the Economy

  • The Social Context of Paul’s Ministry: Tentmaking and Apostleship, by Ronald F. Hock

Leisure and Games

Travel

Dining
