Designed for students beginning their first systematic study of the Christian Scriptures, The New Testament: A Student's Introduction traces the New Testament's chronological, thematic, and literary development through thorough examination of each book. Through exploration of both canonical and non-canonical scriptures, as well as on-going debates and dialogues surrounding the historical Jesus, the text acquaints students with the goals and methods of important biblical scholarship. Now divided into six sections, the book incorporates the latest in New Testament studies and provides a clearer and more comprehensive overview of the historical, social, and cultural environment in which the New Testament authors worked and wrote.

From the Publisher:
Chapter 1 now emphasizes the importance of studying the New Testament critically, utilizing the tools of modern scholarship; Chapter 6 is rewritten to underscore the value of modern approaches to studying the formation of the Gospels.
An new chapter (Chapter 11), "The Other Gospels: Additional Portraits of Jesus" is added.
Other changes include a revision of the "Acts of the Apostles" chapter, and expanded coverage of Paul's thought, particularly his letter to the Romans. The book's final chapter contains a survey of post-New Testament Christian history, with a look at some compelling issues related to the New Testament's continuing relevance in the third millennium.
The scholarship, Recommended Readings, Glossary, and boxes are updated throughout. All of the visual aids, particularly the maps in the early chapters, are improved.
Harris's logical and convenient five part organization helps students successfully navigate the diverse material of the New Testament.
Pedagogy for each chapter includes a list of key themes, a summary, review questions, a list of key terms, a bibliography, and many maps and other visual aids. A complete glossary appears at the end of the book.
Chapter 12, "The Continuing Quest for the Historical Jesus," presents a balanced view of the scholarly debate about whether Jesus was an apocalyptic prophet or a wisdom teacher.
