Render to God: New Testament Understandings of the Divine

Neyrey here interprets eight key New Testament books providing a fresh look at theologies in the early church and introducing readers to the diverse ways in which the New Testament writers render to God the things that are Gods. He begins with two Gospels Mark and Matthew and moves on to the Acts of the Apostles and three of Pauls letters (Romans 1 Corinthians and Galatians). He then examines the formal and precise ways in which Jesus is called God in the Gospel of John and concludes with a discussion of how Hebrews uses eternity as a fundamental concept for understanding God. Using a social-science methodology he offers a unique perspective on the biblical text.
