In The New Testament In Its World acclaimed biblical scholar N. T.
Wright draws on a lifetime of distinguished scholarship to provide
a thorough overview of the New Testament for students, church
leaders, and everyday Christians. Wright, along with prominent New
Testament scholar Michael Bird, explores the history, literature,
and theology of the New Testament with an emphasis on its relevance
for Christians today. Beginning with an overview of how to read the
New Testament, the authors then survey its historical background to
orient readers to the world of Jesus and the early church. This is
followed by an in-depth study of Jesus' inauguration of the kingdom
of God through his life, ministry, death, and resurrection. The
next section explores the life and theology of Paul, who continues
to unfold the significance of Jesus' life and ministry, and applies
these to the issues faced by the early churches. Wright and Bird
survey all of Paul's letters, providing a compact commentary on
each, while explaining contemporary scholarly discussions on Paul
and his teachings. They then turn to the gospels, written after
Paul's letters, followed by the general epistles and Revelation,
explaining the background, critical issues, important teachings,
and contemporary applications for each. This is followed by a
description of how the New Testament came to be, guiding the reader
through issues of textual criticism and canonization. A concluding
section brings all of the previous threads together to encourage
readers to consider how their personal story fits into the larger
story of God's redemption narrated in the New Testament. Students
of the New Testament will not only be equipped with all of the
technical information needed to understand the New Testament today
but will see it as one cohesive story in which they are invited to
play a vital role through their own lives and circumstances.
