Anatomies of the Gospels and Beyond is an edited volume structured
around essays that focus on one of the four canonical Gospels (and
Acts) and/or theoretical issues involved in literary readings of
New Testament narrative. The volume is intended to honor the legacy
of R. Alan Culpepper, Emeritus Professor and Former Dean at Mercer
University's McAfee School of Theology. The title of the volume
(which alludes to the title of Culpepper's ground-breaking
monograph, Anatomy of the Fourth Gospel) and the breadth of the
essays are apt reflections of his research interests over his
academic career of over forty years. The twenty-six contributors
are internationally recognized experts in New Testament studies;
thus, the essays represent a snapshot of current research.

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."
Paul Anderson, a leading scholar of the Fourth Gospel, provides an
introductory textbook, crafted for a semester course, which leads
students through literary, historical, and theological aspects of
the Fourth Gospel's most vexing puzzles. Traditional,
historical-critical, and literary-critical approaches are deftly
introduced and their limitations evaluated; questions of the
Gospel's authorship, composition, relationship to the Synoptics,
and origins in particular historical experiences are succinctly
addressed; and distinctive Johannine perspectives on Jesus, the
church, and the world are discussed.
