Description
This introduction to the New Testament offers a global, pluralistic, and interdisciplinary approach. It brings the world of the student, world issues which involve the use or interpretation of the New Testament, and the best scholarship in Bible, Art, History, Theology, and Ethics together in a readable format. While using basic historical-critical and literary-critical scholarship to introduce the timeframe, contents, themes, and peculiarities of the books of the New Testament, the chapters also focus on examples of how the New Testament has functioned in cultures during the past 2,000 years.
