An updated and expanded edition of a standard textbook on the New Testament for first- and second-year seminary students.
*An Introduction to the New Testament* focuses on "special introduction," that is, historical questions dealing with authorship, date, sources, purpose, destination, and so forth. This approach stands in contrast to recent texts that concentrate more on literary form, rhetorical criticism, and historical parallels - topics the authors don't minimize, but instead think are better given extended treatment in exegesis courses.
By refocusing on the essentials, *An Introduction to the New Testament* ensures that the New Testament books will be accurately understood within historical settings. For each New Testament document, the authors also provide a substantial summary of that book's content, discuss the book's theological contribution to the overall canon, and give an account of current studies on that book, including recent literary and social-science approaches to interpretation. This second edition reflects significant revision and expansion from the original, making this highly acclaimed text even more valuable.
\* A new chapter provides a historical survey examining Bible study method through the ages. \* The chapter on Paul has been expanded to include an analysis of debates on the "new perspective." \* The discussion of New Testament epistles has been expanded to form a new chapter.
This new edition will help a new generation of students better grasp the message of the New Testament.

An Introduction to the New Testament (2nd Edition)$79.99
Having two leading modern scholars Carson and Moo appear at the same NT text book is just worth the money already. The content? Is rock solid and is always feels safe that you can rely on them. I like the current research section and the contribution it adds for each NT gospel and letters. \\r\\n\\r\\n

Solid and readable
Carson and Moo's volume is an excellent introduction to the New Testament. Each book of the New Testament is treated individually, with an emphasis on background issues such as date, author, audience, purpose and recent scholarly study, although a brief outline of the contents of each book is included. Especially helpful is the section explaining the unique contribution of each book. Additional chapters covering the synoptic gospels, Paul and the canon are included. The authors typically come to conservative evangelical conclusions, though they list out the differing views and arguments for and against. Though an academic volume, the book is intentionally kept at a readable length and style, and helpful for those wanting to study the background of individual books of the New Testament.
