This volume, the first of four in The Carta New Testament Atlas, is about recent advances in history, geography, toponomy, and archaeology, the tools necessary to shed fresh light on the Gospels. The hope is that a better understanding of the physical setting and events that framed the life of Jesus can assist us to hear more clearly the message he proclaimed.

Steven Notley, Ph.D., is professor of Biblical Studies, distinguished professor of New Testament and Christian Origins and Director of Graduate Programs in Ancient Judaism and Christian Origins at the New York City campus of Nyack College.
