Drawing upon over fifty years of scholarly experience of one of the most industrious contemporary scholars this work which was first published in 1975 has been revised updated and expanded to offer a fresh in-depth introduction to the New Testament for todays students. Students will be immersed into the world of the first century learning about both Greco-Roman and Jewish backgrounds. While discussing the fundamental questions surrounding the content of each book including its authorship audience and message this work also engages with the wider historical-critical discussion helping students navigate the wider world of modern New Testament scholarship.
