Christian interpretation of the Bible is not a simpletask. While
finding both its beginning and end in the theological claim that
Scripture reveals to us"what God has done in Christ,"Christian
interpretation demands much more. The interaction between believer
and text is also conversation between reader and interpretive
community, both ancient and modern. Theological interpretation
entails close readingsof texts but also a close analysis of
contextsathe social and political shapeof the Mediterranean worldas
well as our own. Interpretation requires theinterweaving of
theology, history,and literature. In Introduction to the New
Testament Carl R. Holladay does just that. He roots each of the New
Testament's twenty-seven writings in their historical, literary,
and theological contexts. A true "Reference Edition," Holladay
provides thorough, detailed, and exacting overviews, background
material, and textual analysis. Holladay leads readers to consider
questions of canon, authority, and genre that shape the formation
of the text and the text's formation of the identity, theology, and
mission of the church today. This Introduction does not leave its
readers stranded in the first century; it also intentionally
connects the message of the New Testament to the issues facing its
faithful readers today. No stone goes unturned and no issue
unexaminedaHolladay's Introduction to the New Testament is an
essential text for any serious student of biblical interpretation.
