From the Preface: This volume is neither a critical introduction to the New Testament nor an attempt at a biblical theology. It is an exposition of the New Testament message, written from an evangelical perspective. It is designed first for the university student but then for any others, laity or clergy, who desire a framework by which to strengthen their grasp of the biblical materials.

This widely praised commentary by William Lane shows Mark to be a theologian whose primary aim was to strengthen the people of God in a time of fiery persecution by Nero. Using redaction criticism as a hermeneutical approach for understanding the text and the intention of the evangelist, Lane considers the Gospel of Mark as a total literary work and describes Mark's creative role in shaping the Gospel tradition and in exercising a conscious theological purpose. Both indicating how the text was heard by Mark's contemporaries and studying Mark within the frame of reference of modern Gospel research, Lane's thoroughgoing work is at once useful to scholars and intelligible to nonspecialists.

Highlights of the New Testament presents the New Testament books in the order they were written, and/or grouped according to a common setting. Each lesson considers the author s response to the life situation which prompted the book s message. For example, Mark wrote his Gospel during a time of great persecution, in order to strengthen Christians in their faithfulness to Jesus. Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica in defense of his mission and to encourage new Christians faced with opposition from Jewish leaders. James wrote to a church that was still meeting in the synagogue, worshiping side by side with fellow Jews who did not recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah. This study will help you gain a fresh perspective on the total message of the New Testament.
Joy of Living courses are suitable for both formal and informal meetings, as well as for personal study. Each lesson contains a commentary and a week s worth of personal application and study questions, leading readers to discover fresh insights into God s Word. Historical background and maps are included.
