Introducing the New Testament

Combining John Drane's major guides to the life and thought of Jesus, Paul, and the early Christians into one text, this volume brings insight to the understanding of the details, themes, and scope of the New Testament. This revised edition also adds a full account of recent scholarly developments in areas such as the historical Jesus, the theologies of the four Gospels, and the role of Paul in the transformation of the church into a separate movement from Judaism. It also includes a new chapter on the interpretation of the New Testament.
