This New Testament introduction is different. Many introductions
zero in on the historical contexts in which the New Testament
literature was written. This introduction goes further-to give
particular attention to the social, cultural, and rhetorical
contexts of the New Testament authors and their writings. Few
introductions to the New Testament integrate instruction in
exegetical and interpretive strategies with the customary
considerations of authorship, dating, audience, and message. This
introduction capitalizes on the opportunity, introducing students
to a relevant facet of interpretation with each portion of New
Testament literature. Rarely do introductions to the New Testament
approach their task mindful of students preparing for ministry.
This introduction is explicit in doing so, recognizing as it does
that the New Testament itself-in its parts and as a whole-is a
pastoral resource. Each chapter on the New Testament literature
closes with a discussion of implications for ministry formation.
These integrative features alone would distinguish this
introduction from others. But in addition, its pages brim with
maps, photos, points of interest, and aids to learning. Separate
chapters explore the historical and cultural environment of the New
Testament era, the nature of the Gospels and the quest for the
historical Jesus, and the life of Paul. First published in 2004,
David A. deSilva's comprehensive and carefully crafted introduction
to the New Testament has been long established as an authoritative
textbook and resource for students. This beautiful, full-color
second edition has been updated throughout with new scholarship and
numerous images. It is the first choice for those convinced that a
New Testament introduction should integrate scholarship and
ministry.
