Studies in the New Testament
Overview
The aim of A. T. Robertson’s classic Studies in the New Testament is to make the New Testament more intelligible and more easily taught to others. The book is not meant for technical scholars or students in theological seminaries. Instead, Robertson writes to the average teacher in the Sunday school, the adult Bible class, boys and girls in the high schools, those in their first year or so in college, and preachers with little scholastic training. With its “Topics for Review” and “Questions for Review and Examination,” it is adapted for use in Sunday school and Bible institutes and in all teacher-training work. There are no references to books of any kind outside of the Bible. The chapters are divided into numerous paragraphs, each paragraph dealing with a single idea.

I started reading this for information on the NT world. Then in chapter 1 on the Roman world, I read this: "Alexander the Great and his successors were kind to the Jews. Especially in Alexandria and in Antioch of Syria were they granted special privileges. They took easily to trade and became bankers and merchants and have kept their grip on the world’s money to this day." I guess Robertson missed reading Maccabees on the occupation of Jerusalem by the Seleucids and the 80,000 killed in 3 days defending the city from the "kind" attack. As for the "the Jews . . . grip on the world's money to this day" I can only toss it into the closet where casual anti-Semitic tropes are stored. I do plan to read on into chapter 2, with my wheat vs chaff separator by my side.
