Introduction to the New Testament- An
An Introduction to the New Testament focuses on "special introduction" that is historical questions dealing with authorship- date- sources- purpose- destination- and so forth. This approach stands in contrast to recent texts that concentrate more on literary form- rhetorical criticism- and historical parallels—topics the authors don’t minimize- but instead think are better given extended treatment in exegesis courses. By refocusing on the essentials- An Introduction to the New Testament ensures that the New Testament books will be accurately understood within historical settings. For each New Testament document- the authors also provide a substantial summary of that book’s content- discuss the book’s theological contribution to the overall canon- and give an account of current studies on that book- including recent literary and social-science approaches to interpretation. This second edition reflects significant revision and expansion from the original- making this highly acclaimed text even more valuable. • A new chapter provides a historical survey examining Bible study method through the ages. • The chapter on Paul has been expanded to include an analysis of debates on the “new perspective.” • The discussion of New Testament epistles has been expanded to form a new chapter. This new edition will help a new generation of students better grasp the message of the New Testament.
