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."

This important work not only contributes to understanding the
origins and character of John's christological tensions, but it
also outlines a new set of theories regarding several innovative
dialogical approaches to the Johannine text. In his new
introduction to this edition, Anderson engages constructively the
responses of his reviewers and outlines his own theories regarding
John's dialogical autonomy. Posing a comprehensive new synthesis
regarding John's composition, situation history, relations to
Synoptic traditions, agency Christology, historicity, and
theological tensions, Anderson here summarizes his most significant
theories published since it first appeared. In so doing, advances
suggested by this pivotal text are laid out in a new set of
paradigms addressing the Johannine riddles in fuller detail.
Over the last two centuries, many scholars have considered the
Gospel of John off-limits for all quests for the historical Jesus.
That stance, however, creates a new set of problems that need to be
addressed thoughtfully. The essays in this book, reflecting the
ongoing deliberations of an international group of Johannine and
Jesus scholars, critically assess two primary assumptions of the
prevalent view: the dehistoricization of John and the
de-Johannification of Jesus. The approaches taken here are diverse,
including cognitive-critical developments of Johannine memory,
distinctive characteristics of the Johannine witness, new
historicism, Johannine-Synoptic relations, and fresh analyses of
Johannine traditional development. In addition to offering
state-of-the-art reviews of Johannine studies and Jesus studies,
this volume draws together an emerging consensus that sees the
Gospel of John as an autonomous tradition with its own perspective,
in dialogue with other traditions. Through this challenging of
critical and traditional assumptions alike, new approaches to
John's age-old riddles emerge, and the ground is cleared for new
and creative ways forward. The contributors are Paul Anderson; D.
A. Carson; Colleen M. Conway; Paula Fredriksen; Felix Just, S.J.;
Robert Kysar; Andrew Lincoln; John Painter; Sidney Palmer; Mark
Allan Powell; D. Moody Smith; Tom Thatcher; Marianne Meye Thompson;
Gilbert Van Belle; and Jack Verheyden. Paperback edition is
