    The document provides instructions for completing tasks about the historical context of New Testament letters based on a video from "The Bible Project". It explains that the video discusses three layers of historical context to consider when reading the letters: the context of the authors and original recipients, the broader historical and cultural context of the early Christian movement, and the specific situations each letter aimed to address in the recipient communities. Completing the tasks requires watching sections of the video identified by timers and answering questions about the letters and their historical context.

    Unit 3, The Early Church, Topic 1

    New Testament Letters, Historical Context


    The “Bible Project” is produced by a small American team that have attempted to explain the Bible through a series of
    text and short video clips.

    It is a useful resource in our own journey of exploring the Bible. It is not to be taken as a definitive source of explanation,
    so attempt each task with the implied start to the question: “According to this source of information …………” Each
    answer needs to be about 1-3 sentences depending on the nature of the question.

    Unit 3, Topic 1: New Testament Letters: Historical Context

    Follow the link to the relevant part of “The Bible Project”:


    https://bibleproject.com/ On the home page, scroll down to “New testament Letters: Historical Context”, and then
    attempt the following tasks as you watch the associated video clip. It is best to read all the questions first, then watch
    the video clip.

    Save this document to your device, then add your answers beneath each question. You should watch the whole video,
    but there is a timer indicator for each question to indicate the section of the video where you should expect to find
    information relevant to the question.

    Task 1/ There are 21 letters that form part of the New Testament. Who wrote these letters and who were they
    written to (generally)? (Timer, 0:00 to 0:25)

    Task 2/ Why do these letters need to be read in their “historical context? What does “historical context mean”?
    (Timer, 0:25 to 0:40)

    Task 3/ The Bible Project Team suggest there are three layers of historical context to consider. Generally, and
    specifically, how would you describe the first layer? (Timer; 0:40 to 1:55)

    Task 4/ Generally, and specifically, how would you describe the second layer? (Timer, 1:40 to 3:05)

    Task 5/ Generally, and specifically (for the example given which was the letter to the Church in Rome (now
    called the book of Romans)), how would you describe the third layer? (Timer, 3:00 to 4:15)

    Task 6/ Given that the letters were written to address specific situations in Churches in another country nearly
    2000 years ago, do they have any relevance for people today? (Timer, 4:10 to the end)
