The Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia in Their Local Setting / Colin J. Hemer.
With a new foreword by David E. Aune / This modern classic by Colin Hemer explores the seven letters in the book of Revelation against the historical background of the churches to which they were addressed. Based on literary, epigraphical, and archaeological sources and informed by Hemer’s firsthand knowledge of the biblical sites, this superb study presents in the clearest way possible a picture of the New Testament world in the later part of the first century and its significance for broader questions of church history.
Hemer, Colin J., 1930 – 1987.
Colin J. Hemer (1930 - 1987) was a research fellow at Tyndale House in Cambridge, England.
