Synopsis
The purpose of this introductory text is to help the interested reader to learn about and engage in critical study of the New Testament. It has been written for students and other lay people with no formal training in New Testament studies. Although it is nAintended to be a 'popular' treatment - the kind of book that usually oversimplifies material and presents it so rapidly that it rarely challenges thoughtful readers - it avoids the technical language used in more advanced work. Its aim is to inform, not to convert; to educate, not to indoctrinate, and it has been designed for those willing to go beyond denominational or romantic approaches. First comes a general introduction to subjects important for understanding the settings of the New Testament writings. The three parts which follow deal with Jesus and the first three Gospels; Acts and Paul and his letters; and writings from times of oppression and controversy, the context in which the Fourth Gospel is studied. There are useful figures and diagrams to illustrate points relating to sources and style, and illustrations where these are relevant to the text. The result is a valuable resource book which will enjoy the widest possible use.

hardcover. Condition: Gut. 449 p Binding rubbed, cut slightly rubbed, otherwise good copy, without annotations./Einband berieben, Schnitt leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar, ohne Anstreichungen. - From the Preface - The Bible, which has influenced the 1 thought, literature, institutions, and values and mores of Western culture for almost two thousand years, consists of the Old Testament (OT) and the New Testament (NT). While the OT is a collection of religious writings fundamental to the Jewish religion, both the OT and the NT are the sacred scriptures of the Christian religion. The purpose of this introductory text is to help the interested reader learn about and participate in critical study of the NT. This book is written for students and other lay people who have had no formal training in NT studies. Although it is not to be considered a popular bookthe kind that usually oversimplifies material and presents it so rapidly that the book rarely challenges the thoughtful and intelligent readerthis text is written with very little of the technical language used in more advanced works. However, in order to satisfy the intellectual appetites of the very curious readers, some sections are particularly detailed. For those who are less enthusiastic, a cursory reading of those sections will provide insight into the complex issues involved in the critical study of the NT. Through use of the most recent information available and through modern techniques of biblical study, this book provides a critical and objective introduction to NT study.
