About this title

From the Back Cover

"I heartily recommend this wonderful introduction by one of the best young Continental scholars. Not an account of early Christian history of its environment, Schnelle's book instead deal comprehensively and decisively with New Testament literature, but in ways that take us beyond Kmmel's Introduction in several respects. Schnelle knows how to separate the important from the ephemeral, and his book is very well written, clear, and reflective of the latest stage of research." ---Hans Dieter Betz University of Chicago
