Do we "really" know who wrote the New Testament documents? Do we
really know "when" they were written? Scholars have long debated
these fundamental questions. This volume identifies and
investigates literary traditions and their implications for the
authorship and dating of the Gospels and the letters of the New
Testament. Departing from past scholarship, E. Earle Ellis argues
that the Gospels and the letters are products of the corporate
authorship of four allied apostolic missions and not just the
creation of individual authors. The analysis of literary traditions
also has implications for the dating of New Testament documents.
Providing a critique of the current critical orthodoxy with respect
to the dating of New Testament documents, Ellis weighs the
patristic traditions more heavily and more critically than has been
done in the past. Ellis's new reconstruction of the origin of the
New Testament documents provides better answers than have been
previously proposed to a number of critical questions. Ellis
provides a comprehensive historical reconstruction of the process
by which the gospel message became the Gospel books. His arguments,
if persuasive, will require a reassessment of the history of early
Christianity. Please note that "The Making of the New Testament
Documents" was previously published by Brill in hardback, ISBN 90
