Scholars continue tounearth valuable understandings of the
historical and religious worlds out of which the New Testament
writingsemerged. This beautifully-crafted introduction notes more
than two dozencontextual crises and how the biblical text addresses
and reflects them. From the ministry of Jesus, to the rise and
progress of the Christian movement, to the epistles of Paul and
other leaders, to a vision of God's final cosmic victory, the New
Testament books are succinctly introduced in literary, historical,
and theological perspectives. Designed for optimal use in a 14- or
a 10-week undergraduate or graduate course, each chapter is
designed with four primary features in mind: (a) contextual crises
shedding light on the subject; (b) connections with the biblical
writings being discussed in that chapter; (c) primary features of
the book(s) being discussed; and (d) an application section dealing
with the relevance of the biblical content then and now. Anderson
also uses call-out boxes and shorter vignettes to heighten
particular themes, while images, charts, and maps are used to make
information accessible for students."
