Beschrijving
This is a brand new undergraduate textbook which covers all aspects of New Testament study. Issues addressed include:
-- Questions of theology: how could a human figure come to be worshipped as a deity in a monotheistic culture?
-- Questions of history: what was going on in the society in which such extraordinary events happened?
-- Questions of literature: how did the Gospels and letters come to be written and assume the importance they have?Gerd Theissen's approach is illuminating that anyone considering the New Testament for the first time, and even experienced students will value this book immeasurably.
