Reading the Later New Testament as Christian Scripture

A Literary, Canonical, and Theological Introduction

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This survey textbook offers an accessible introduction to the Later New Testament in its literary, canonical, and theological contexts. Unlike other portions of the New Testament such as Paul's Letters or the Gospels, introductions to the Later New Testament (Hebrews through Revelation) are uncommon. These texts have been relatively neglected in the history of Christian interpretation. In this book, Ruth Anne Reese and Madison N. Pierce offer the most up-to-date introduction to these texts in more than a decade. This textbook is grounded in the view that the Later New Testament should be read as Christian Scripture. Although the book covers critical issues such as authorship, background, and history, its primary focus is on the message and theology of the Later New Testament and the contribution these texts make to the Christian canon. Reading Christian Scripture is a series of survey textbooks that will cover the Old and New Testaments. Beautifully designed in full color with maps, sidebars, images, and illustrations to hold interest and aid learning, Reading the Later New Testament as Christian Scripture offers a faith-friendly introduction to students. Additional resources for instructors are available through textbook eSources.
