What is so new about the New Testament? Senior scholar Donald
Hagner tackles the issue of how distinct early Christianity was
from the first-century Judaism from which it emerged. He surveys
newness in the entire New Testament canon, examining the evidence
for points of continuity and discontinuity between formative
Judaism and early Christianity. Hagner's accessible analysis of the
New Testament text shows that despite Christianity's thorough
Jewishness, from the beginning dramatic newness was an essential
aspect of this early literature.
Ladd's magisterial work on New Testament theology has well served
thousands of seminary students since its publication in 1974.
Enhanced and updated here by Donald A Hagner, this comprehensive,
standard evangelical text now features augmented bibliographies and
two completely new chapters on subjects that Ladd himself wanted to
treat in a revised edition--the theology of each of the Synoptic
Evangelists and the issue of unity and diversity in the New
Testament--written, respectively, by R. T. France and David Wenham.

What did the first Christians say about Jesus? The good news about
Jesus spread like wildfire through the Roman Empire in the decades
between his death and the writing of the first gospels-but how?
What exactly did the first Christians say about Jesus? In From Good
News to Gospels David Wenham delves into the Gospels, Acts, and the
writings of Paul to uncover evidence of a strong and substantial
oral tradition in the early church. With implications for the
historicity of the New Testament, the Synoptic problem, the
composition of the gospels, and other topics of vital concern, From
Good News to Gospels will inform, engage, and challenge readers,
inspiring them to better understand and appreciate the earliest
gospel message.
The historical reliability of the Gospels has been discussed from
the Enlightenment onwards. At present, many scholars assume that
the canonical Gospels as we have them are essentially fictions
constructed near the end of the first century to meet the needs of
the Christian movement of that time and that they give us very
little reliable information regarding the life and teachings of
Jesus. But have these scholars really understood the nature of the
written Gospels?
Birger Gerhardsson has devoted almost the whole of his academic
career to the study of the oral tradition that is the basis of our
canonical Gospels. His groundbreaking doctoral dissertation,
"Memory and Manuscript," drew a parallel between the way in which
the rabbis taught their disciples and the way Jesus taught his
disciples: both required memorization of the master's teaching.
Rabbinic disciples handed on their masters' tradition with great
care, and we can be sure that the disciples of Jesus would have
been no less careful with what he taught them
"The Reliability of the Gospel Tradition "presents three studies
that illuminate how the early Christians passed on tradition. "The
Origins of the Gospel Tradition" gives an accessible review of the
debate regarding the extent to which the New Testament evangelists
enable us to hear the voice of Jesus. "The Path of the Gospel
Tradition" contains a critical discussion of the approach of the
form-critical school to the problem of the early Christian
tradition, ending with an alternative sketch of the path of the
tradition. "The Gospel Tradition" offers a rather detailed picture
of various aspects of the content and method of early Christian
tradition and assesses the reliability of the four oldest of the
extant written records.
Since 1963, substantial objections have been raised against the
traditional view of the Pauline doctrine of justification, mainly
by New Testament scholars such as Krister Stendahl, E. P. Sanders
and James D. G. Dunn. This book evaluates the "New Perspective on
Paul" and finds it wanting. With appreciation for the important
critique already offered by Donald Hagner, which is included in
this volume, Peter Stuhlmacher mounts a forthright and
well-supported challenge based on established and more recent
scholarship concerning Paul's understanding of justification. In
particular he argues that the forensic and mystical elements of
Paul's doctrine of justification should not be played off against
one another. Rather Paul's understanding can be faithfully rendered
only within the context of his apostolic mission to Jews and
Gentiles and the expectation of the coming kingdom of God. This
book will be of interest to students and teachers of biblical
studies, biblical theology and systematic theology, and to those
engaged in Jewish-Christian dialogue, Protestant-Roman Catholic
conversation about the doctrine of justification, or discussions of
rival views of justification within Protestantism.
These seminal essays by two leading New Testament scholars of our
day focus on the interface between Judaism and Christianity in the
New Testament. Professor Hengel writes in a broad and incisive
manner on "Early Christianity as a Jewish-Messianic Universalist
Movement." He argues that Christianity grew entirely out of Jewish
soil and that pagan influences in the New Testament were mediated
through Hellenistic Judaism. With an increasing number of Jewish
scholars, he therefore contends that the New Testament must be
considered an important source for our knowledge of ancient
Judaism. In a final portion of his essay, he comments in some
detail on "the final separation" of Christianity and Judaism.
Professor Barrett's "Paul: Councils and Controversies" addresses a
more specific topic, though one with wide-ranging implications. His
focus is the council described in Galatians 2 and Acts 15. What is
the gospel of Jesus Christ for Jews and what is it for the Gentiles
of the Pauline mission? Barrett explores the historical
circumstances and the theological issues at stake. He traces the
weakness of the initial compromise agreement between Paul and Peter
to take the gospel to the uncircumcision and the circumcision
respectively, as well as the significance of the later compromise
decree of the council that made minimal demands upon the Gentiles.
The inadequacy of both approaches is found in their failure to
refer to the center or core of the gospel, that is, to Jesus
Christ. A brief concluding chapter draws together some of the
essays' themes, by summarizing responses to them by Fuller
Seminary's New Testament department and proposing prospects for
future discussion. An annotated bibliography is also included.
Donald A. Hagner is George Eldon Ladd Professor of New Testament at
Fuller Theological Seminary.
This book comprehensively surveys the origin, production and
reception of the canonical gospels in the early church. The
discussion unfolds in three steps. Part One traces the origin of
the 'gospel' of Jesus, its significance in Jewish and Hellenistic
contexts of the first century, and its development from eyewitness
memory to oral tradition and written text. Part Two then more
specifically examines the composition, design and intentions of
each of the four canonical gospels. Widening the focus, Part Three
first asks about gospel-writing as viewed from the perspective of
ancient Jews and pagans before turning to the question of reception
history in the proliferation of 'apocryphal' gospels, in the
formation of the canon, and in the beginnings of a gospel
commentary tradition.
Although the Book of Hebrews "is not exactly what most of us would
regard as a user-friendly book," notes Donald Hagner, "Hebrews has
always been popular among Christians." "Encountering the Book of
Hebrews" was written to help students more fully appreciate the
complexities of this favorite section of Scripture.
Hagner begins by exploring introductory issues (e.g., historical
backgrounds, author, audience, date, purpose, structure, genre) and
overarching themes (e.g., heavenly archetypes and earthly copies,
the use of the Old Testament, the attitude toward Judaism). The
heart of the book then offers a chapter-by-chapter exposition of
Hebrews. Unlike commentaries, it does not try to be
exhaustive--examining all details and answering all questions--but
instead guides students to the issues that are most important for
their study of this difficult book. Hagner concludes with a final
look at the contribution of Hebrews to the New Testament, New
Testament theology, the church, and the individual Christian.
As with other volumes in the Encountering Biblical Studies series,
"Encountering the Book of Hebrews" is designed for classroom use
and includes a number of helpful features, including
further-reading sections, key terms, chapter objectives, and
outlines along with numerous sidebars and illustrations.
