An Introduction to the New Testament

This text is useful for those who want an overview of the New Testament, suitable for first year seminary study or anyone who wants to further their understanding of the New Testament as a whole. A separate chapter on each book of the New Testament covers issues of authorship, genre, structure and message. Unlike many introductory texts, it goes beyond the academic to application, with a section for each book on how it relates to ministry formation. The book is filled with visual aids, and the level of detail is such that the reader won't get bored. Thought-provoking discussions and debates are highlighted, making it a generally good starting point for New Testament studies.
