Description
For one semester/quarter courses on the New Testament. Voyage through the New Testament is accessible to students with and without background knowledge of the New Testament. Students are introduced to different approaches and to the assumptions inherent in each approach. They examine New Testament books as religious and theological documents that were written in specific historical and literary contexts. To broaden students' awareness of the range of contemporary interpretations of the New Testament, this volume also provides examples of different inculturated readings, as well as examples of non-biblical religious literature.
