These seminal essays investigate material from papyri and inscriptions in order to gain insight regarding the language and literature of Hellenistic Judaism and early Christianity. Included in the essays is Deissmann's famous distinction between letters and epistles. Additionally, the collection includes his attack on the notion that biblical Greek was a sacred language. Deissmann shows, convincingly, that biblical Greek is vernacular Greek.

Deissmann was a scholar well known for his work with the Greek of the New Testament. Primarily concerned with the changes after Alexander's conquest, the book is a brief exploration of Greek religion in the aftermath of conquest. Semitic monotheism was, according to Deissmann, a new concept for the Greek world.

Exploiting the discoveries that he draws on so expertly in his ''Light from the Ancient East'', Deissmann''s intent here is to understand Paul in his historical and geographical setting. While not a sociological study according to contemporary standards, Deissmann''s emphasis is clearly on people and their daily lives. His emphasis is on Paul as a social being, not as a theologian.

Adolf Deissmann (1866-1937) studied at Tuebingen and Berlin. In 1897 he was appointed to a professorship at Heidelberg where he taught until 1908, when he was called to succeed Bernhard Weiss at Berlin. Deissmann made important contributions to biblical philology and sociology. His research into the papyri remains important for Biblical scholarship today.
