Introduction to the New Testament, An (2nd Ed) cover

A revised and updated introduction to the New Testament and its study in its literary, historical and cultural context. This second edition of An Introduction to the New Testament provides readers with pertinent material and a helpful framework that will guide them in their understanding of the New Testament texts. Many new and diverse cultural, historical, social-scientific, sociorhetorical, narrative, textual, and contextual studies have been examined since the publication of the first edition, which was in print for twenty years. The authors retain the original tripartite arrangement on 1) The world of the New Testament, 2) Interpreting the New Testament, and 3) Jesus and early Christianity. An appropriate book for anyone who seeks to better understand what is involved in the exegesis of New Testaments texts today.

This will be useful to general readers as well as students as a background to Bible Study. Chapters look at the background to the New Testament, the interpretation of the New Testament and methods of historical criticism, the life and message of Jesus, and the life and writings of Paul. * in Church of England Newspaper, Num. 6148, 21st October 2012 *
... This work has been written with the needs of undergraduates preparing for a first degree in biblical studies in mind. At the same time, it is also designed for more general readers who want to come to an understanding of the books of the New Testament...[...] The footnotes through the whole book are helpful and enable the reader to take some of the subject matter further... [...] The work will be of considerable use to those coming fresh to biblical studies... -- Donald A Bullen * Theological book review, Vol. 24, No 2, 2012. *
As an introduction, this publication is a delight. It is comprehensive, highly readable and scholarly throughout. For anyone either teaching or studying NT background and history modules, at either lower or higher degree levels, it serves well as a 'must read'. -- Glenn M. Balfour * Journal for the Study of the New Testament Booklist, Vol. 35.5, August 2013 *
