Product Description
This introductory student-centered text is now full color, enhancing its readers' visual experience! The fifth edition of iThe New Testament/i retains its effective 5-part organization ("An Invitation to the New Testament," "Diverse Portraits of Jesus," "An Account of the Early Church," "Paul and the Pauline Tradition," and "General Letters and Vision of End Time"), which traces the New Testament#8217;s chronological, thematic, and literary development and examines each New Testament document on a book-by-book basis. This method helps students to become familiar with the content and major themes of the New Testament as well as to acquaint themselves with the goals and methods of important biblical scholarship. The fifth edition of iThe New Testament/i is the best revision ever.

Excellent book for introduction to the New Testament and seminary students. This book was recommended by a Princeton graduate and NT scholar.

The New Testament - A Student Introduction October 1, 2007
1 out of 5 found this review helpful

It is a well written book, but not a well rounded book. Like most studies it looks at 19th and 20th century research as more valued than 1st and 2nd century sources. Also positions on text are stated without the supporting information being presented or sited.br /br /There is no exploration into the Textus Receptus (King James) vs. the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus (Most modern translations including the Modern King James), and the impact or potential impact of one translation versus the other.br /br /But this is only an introduction. Also because it is only an introduction I would say that the price is higher than it should be.

A Superb, Scholarly, and Readable Introduction March 6, 2007
1 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book demonstrates a rare combination of brilliant scholarship and clear, concise writing. This book approaches the New Testament from a historical perspective, but is in no way an attack on faith (as some reviewers have implied). I had the good fortune to take a class with Professor Harris, and I feel that his brilliant mind and approchable style really come through in this work. I could not recommend this book more strongly.

This was a used item, but it was exactly what I needed, especially considering that I was a bit apprehensive about possibly purchasing the wrong item. It came in a timely fashion, and was gently used, as described.
