Macquarie University, 1983. — 187 p.This series seeks to keep New Testament and early church researchers, teachers, and students abreast of emerging documentary evidence by reproducing and reviewing recently published Greek inscriptions and papyri that illumine the context in which the Christian church developed. Produced by the Ancient History Documentary Research Centre at Macquarie University, the New Docs volumes broaden the context of biblical studies and other related fields and provide a better understanding of the historical and social milieus of early Christianity.Among the entries and topics in this review of Greek inscriptions and papyri published in 1978 are the ''good news'' of a wedding, joining the household of Caesar, expiation and the cult of men, cities of the Revelation, credal formula in a Christian amulet against fever, divine providence in a letter of Judas, a family feud, and Christian inscriptions from Phrygia.
