"Introducing the New Testament "presents the complex and often
challenging texts and history of the New Testament in a clear and
informative manner. The book begins with a section that gives
readers a clear idea of how to use it most effectively for study
and personal research, followed by a chapter which outlines the
various manuscript traditions and processes of transmission that
resulted in the biblical texts we have before us today. With this
groundwork complete readers are then introduced to all the texts of
the New Testament, and to major issues and debates such as the
'Historical Jesus' the 'Synoptic Problem' and current debates
surrounding inspiration - how these texts can be seen in both a
historical context and in the context of religious faith. The
author is a highly respected Roman Catholic Biblical scholar, who
for many years taught in the Oxford University Theology Faculty,
was a papal advisor on the bible and produced one of the most
popular biblical translations of recent years. This book draws
heavily on Wansbrough's wealth of teaching experience with all of
the chapters having been classroom tested in several institutions
across the world. The book features chapter summaries, sample essay
questions, chapter bibliographies and sections to extend knowledge
and prompt individual research.
