New Testament Studies offers a unified approach and a selection of
excellent articles that is in no way constrained by theological
positions. The aim of this four-volume set is to provide a rich
teaching and learning resource which generates a real knowledge
transfer based on the best recent New Testament scholarship.
Volume I covers two areas, issues of methodology and recent
advances in historical Jesus research. The former area both lays
the basic groundwork for engaging in the study of the ancient texts
that form the New Testament, but also collects together some of the
more creative reading strategies that have been applied to New
Testament texts over the last few decades. Further, research into
the central figure of the New Testament has a long history, and
there has been renewed interest and fresh advances in this area
over the last twenty years that have reshaped the questions that
are being explored. Volume II looks specifically at the four
canonical Gospels. The volume opens with articles that deal with
general issues such as questions of genre, audience and purpose
before presenting articles that deal with the individual texts.
Also the recent application of social-memory theory to Gospel texts
will be highlighted. Volume III perhaps covers the topic that has
seen the greatest amount of literature published during the last
three decades - the person and letters of Paul the apostle. Three
central areas which will be addressed are: (i) the life and
self-understanding of Paul; (ii) his theological understandings;
and (iii) the purpose of his writings and the issues they raise.
Volume IV is not an assembly of disparate voices, but actually
reflects one of the most important developments in the study of the
New Testament and Early Christianity. Namely, it allows for the
appreciation of the diverse expressions of faith that represented
the Jesus movement in the first two centuries.
