Reading the New Testament offers an exciting and contemporary
approach to New Testament Studies, which have changed dramatically
in the past thirty years. James Crossley combines an introduction
to traditional methods of source, form and social-scientific
criticism with postcolonial, gender and political frameworks. He
discusses reception-history, covering areas such as popular
culture, party politics, historical theology and the politics of
contemporary scholarship. He discusses Paul and Christian origins
in continental philosophy, as well as offering a more traditional
analysis of Paul's theology and the quest for the historical Jesus.
A selection of readings from contemporary scholarship is provided
in the final chapter of the book.
Reading the New Testament has been carefully designed to help
students think critically and in wide-ranging ways about the texts
of the New Testament and will prove a valuable resource for
everyone engaged in serious study of the Bible.
