An Introduction to the New Testament (2nd edition)

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, this introduction ensures that the New Testament books will be
accurately understood within historical settings. For each NT 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. (= 9781844740895)
