The story follows the fictional tale of Nicanor, a former slave who joins the Corinthian Christian community. This would be a great supplement to a study on the New Testament.

Publisher's Description of Week in the Life of Corinth
Ben Witherington III attempts to reenchant our reading of Paul in this
creative reconstruction of ancient Corinth. Following a fictitious
Corinthian man named Nicanor through an eventful week of business
dealings and conflict, you will encounter life at various levels of
Roman society--eventually meeting Paul himself and gaining entrance into
the Christian community there. The result is an unforgettable
introduction to life in a major center of the New Testament world.
Numerous full-page text boxes expand on a variety of aspects of life and
culture as we encounter them in the narrative.
