This introductory student-centered text is now full color, enhancing its readers' visual experience! The fifth edition of The New Testament retains its effective 5-part organization ("An Invitation to the New Testament," "Diverse Portraits of Jesus," "An Account of the Early Church," "Paul and the Pauline Tradition," and "General Letters and Vision of End Time"), which traces the New Testament�s chronological, thematic, and literary development and examines each New Testament document on a book-by-book basis. This method helps students to become familiar with the content and major themes of the New Testament as well as to acquaint themselves with the goals and methods of important biblical scholarship. The fifth edition of The New Testament is the best revision ever.

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.
