Description
This comprehensive survey textbook explores the New Testament as Christian Scripture, covering its books and major topics in a clear and accessible manner. Assuming no prior academic study of the Bible, the authors provide a thorough introduction to the canonical whole that supplements the Old Testament.
The book is designed for contemporary evangelical undergraduates, offering a flexible teaching approach with chapters that can be assigned in any order. The text also highlights how the New Testament writings contribute to Christian doctrine, spirituality, and engagement with culture.
Featuring full-color illustrations and a range of pedagogical aids, including photographs, sidebars, maps, timelines, charts, glossary, and discussion questions, this textbook is an ideal resource for one-semester courses at evangelical schools. Additional resources are available for instructors and students through Textbook eSources.
