In this clear and accessible introductory text, the author supplies
the reader with basic information about both the content and the
historical background of the New Testament and shows the processes
by which scholars seek to solve some of the chief literary problems
of the Gospels. He offers a straightforward path through the
unwieldy abundance of complex material, without distortion or
over-simplification. He avoids technical discussions and critical
debates, but shows the main problems to be considered in this type
of study. The author does not emphasise novel theories, but
presents a balanced account that represents the consensus of
current New Testament scholarship. Long seen as one of the leading
volumes of its kind, this enlarged and revised edition will provide
lasting knowledge to all who seek a deepened understanding of the
forces that forged the New Testament.
