Delve into the life and letters of early Christianity with clear, expert guidance.

This introduction surveys the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation, explaining how scholars assess authorship, dating, and the unity of the New Testament message. It blends historical context with careful analysis, helping readers understand how the New Testament came to shape Christian tradition.

From the origins of gospel titles to the Synoptic Problem, this edition illuminates how early Christians transmitted the story of Jesus and how modern scholars test the evidence. It explains why certain letters are grouped as Pauline and how arguments about authenticity influence our view of these texts.
