Description
Many introductions to the New Testament focus on historical-critical issues with only cursory discussions of the text. In Engaging the New Testament, Miguel Echevarria overviews the New Testament writings in their canonical order, showing how each book has a purposeful function within the larger context of Scripture. He provides streamlined and accessible background discussions related to the New Testament writings to enable students to focus on interpretive issues. The book is informed by the latest scholarship yet accessible to those with no prior theological education.
This concise introduction to the New Testament is well-suited to one-semester survey courses. It addresses the needs and questions of students in multicultural classrooms who are studying for ministry. Sidebars encourage readers to think about applying the Bible to various ministry contexts, such as the pastorate, missions, and counseling.
