Quotes About Late first century

The range of different situations in these seven churches is sufficient for any Christian church in the late first century to find analogies to its own situation in one or more of the messages and therefore to find the whole book relevant to itself. Churches in later periods have been able to do the same, allowing for a necessary degree of adjustment to changing historical contexts.
~ Richard Bauckham
People in the late first century, watching the Gospel of Luke performed, would be laughing. Try explaining, through hand motions, the angelic vision yourselves, and then try not to smile.
~ Amy-Jill Levine
