Synopsis
Intended for Introduction to New Testament courses found in religion or theology departments.
The thesis of this book is that every New Testament writing stands within a story, even if it does not tell stories. The approach allows readers to view the documents as vital elements in the lives of real persons. The book maintains its focus on bringing the writings alive and shows how critical study enhances understanding of their meanings. Its prime goal is teaching students to read these writings for themselves, bridging the chasms of language, history, and culture that separate them from us. The latest methods of research are utilized in this quest, but the focus always remains on the New Testament documents.

hardcover. Condition: Gut. 374 p., illustrated. Einband etwas berieben, sonst ein sehr gut erhaltenes Exemplar frei von Anstreichungen./Binding a little rubbed, otherwise a very good copy free of annotations. - Excerpt from the author's preface - The degree to which we moderns are shaped by books is difficult to overemphasize. Our rooms are littered with themat least my study is as I finish writing this. It is hard to remember that books are a relatively recent invention, barely five centuries old. Before Gutenberg printed the Bible from movable type in 1456, most of our forebears worked with handwritten manuscripts, a far different medium. Even with printing, books did not become widely available until the invention of a machine that manufactured paper, early in the nineteenth century'. A whole new way of studying the Bible developed in conjunction with this new technology. The first printed Greek edition of the New Testament was published by Erasmus of Rotterdam in 1516, under the title Novum Instrumentum, meaning a new instrument. Other study books soon followed: dictionaries, concordances, lexicons, atlases, commentaries. These new instruments made it possible to analyze the biblical writings in ways never before possible. They have allowed us to move closer to their original contexts and meanings than has been possible since the third century. Today we know more about the Corinth of Paul's day than has been known for a thousand yearsa momentous gain, indeed. ISBN 9780534072841 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 788.
