Historical background of the New Testament
Most scholars who study the
Historical Jesus
and
Early Christianity
believe that the
Canonical Gospels
and life of
Jesus
must be viewed as firmly placed within his historical and cultural context, rather than purely in terms of Christian
orthodoxy
. They look at the "forces" such as the
Oral Gospel tradition
which were in play regarding the Jewish culture at that time, and the tensions, trends, and changes in the region under the
influence of Hellenism
and the
Roman occupation
. Thus, the cultural and historical context of Jesus is that of 1st century
Galilee
and
Roman Judea
, and the traditions of
Second Temple Judaism
.
