EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Coins of the New Testament" takes us on a visual journey back to the 1st century AD, immersing us in the historical and biblical significance of these ancient artifacts. The image showcases a collection of colorful coins meticulously arranged, representing an array of currencies used during that time. Each coin tells a story, reflecting the cultural diversity and political landscape prevalent in Judea under Roman rule. From sestertius to quadrans, farthing to denarius, this assortment offers a glimpse into everyday transactions and economic systems within the empire. Among these remarkable pieces is the half shekel famously mentioned in biblical accounts such as Jesus' encounter with Peter regarding temple tax. Additionally, we find references to significant figures like Simon Maccabaeus and Simon Bar Cochab who played pivotal roles in Jewish history. The silver gleam emanating from these coins transports us back to Palestine's ancient streets while reminding us of their enduring legacy. They serve as tangible connections between our present-day understanding of scripture and those distant times when they were circulated by merchants or held by widows contributing their mites. Through this evocative photograph, we are invited to explore not only monetary systems but also delve deeper into religious narratives intertwined with historical events. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with both material culture and spiritual heritage across centuries.
