| Summary |
"A Class-Book of New Testament History" by G. F. Maclear is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a continuation of the author's earlier volume on Old Testament history, aiming to narrate the events surrounding the New Testament period, focusing particularly on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the apostles, and the early Church. It is structured as an educational resource, likely aimed at students of theology or history. At the start of the book, G. F. Maclear sets the stage by addressing the transition between the Old and New Testaments, specifically detailing the historical context of the Jewish people under Persian rule, leading up to significant events like the arrival of Alexander the Great. The opening chapters mention prominent figures such as the high priest Jaddua and highlight the socio-political dynamics of ancient Judea, focusing on the influence of surrounding empires and internal conflicts among the Jewish populace. Maclear's account promises a comprehensive overview that will serve as a guide for understanding the rich tapestry of New Testament history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
