Description

The English Bible: The New Testament and the Apocrypha by Herbert Marks This comprehensive volume brings together succinct introductions, detailed annotations, and contextual materials to explore the New Testament and the Apocrypha. The introductions and annotations provide necessary historical and cultural background, while the annotations themselves offer lucid discussions of textual problems and stylistic features of the original texts. The book is divided into five sections, each addressing a different aspect of the subject. The "Historical Contexts" section provides insight into the diversity of early Christianity through excerpts from ancient sources, while the "Exegesis" section explores classic commentary on the New Testament. The final section features essays by contemporary scholars and critics, exemplifying a range of interdisciplinary approaches to New Testament literature. The New Testament's powerful language and images have inspired some of the finest poetry in the English language, and this volume collects a wide selection of lyric poems, hymns, and spirituals. Case studies and other materials are designed to stimulate classroom discussion and provide a deeper understanding of the subject.
