New edition of an established New Testament textbook
Fully revised and updated edition. This companion volume to Craig Blomberg's widely-appreciated Jesus and the Gospels covers the rest of the New Testament, from the Acts of the Apostles to the book of Revelation. It surveys the most crucial matters of introduction in sufficient detail to provide the necessary background for correct interpretation of these New Testament texts. Mindful of the needs and interests of twenty-first-century students, the authors also deal with the structure and contents of each book, and the distinctive exegetical issues, and give pointers to contemporary application. The clear, accessible and up-to-date text includes numerous figures, maps and bibliographies. From Pentecost to Patmos enables readers to come to a better understanding of first-century Christianity and its literature that came to be treated as uniquely authoritative. This will lead to a greater appreciation of the Lord Jesus Christ, worshipped by the early church, often in hostile circumstances and in the face of difficulties remarkably similar to those the church experiences today throughout the world.
Readers will be educated, illuminated, stimulated, and encouraged to reflect on the impact of these vital biblical texts today. This book deserves a wide readership in seminaries and universities. * Steve Walton, professor of New Testament, Trinity College, Bristol, UK *
Professors and students will find that this text is well-suited to introduce them to writings that have changed the world. * Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and professor of biblical theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary *
A welcome update of a solid volume of introduction to the New Testament... Well done! * Darrell L. Bock, senior research professor of New Testament studies, Dallas Theological Seminary *
This is a significant, user-friendly resource, engaging critical scholarship and providing pastoral reflection, a one-stop orientation to the world of the early church. * Mariam J. Kovalishyn, assistant professor of New Testament studies, Regent College *
Their insightful applications make the text engaging and sometimes even convicting. Highly recommended! * Charles L. Quarles, research professor of New Testament and biblical theology, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary *
This revised and expanded edition cements its role as the conservative introduction. It remains a marvel of covering so much ground in a deft but approachable style. * E. Randolph Richards, provost and professor of biblical studies, Palm Beach Atlantic University *
