Synopsis

Twenty years after its first release in one volume, Donald Guthrie has revised his widely acclaimed New Testament Introduction. A careful recasting of a benchmark evangelical work, this new edition provides a fixed point for surveying the books of the New Testament. Noting the issues raised by the past two decades of biblical scholarship, Guthrie engages the issues of authorship and authenticity, purpose and structure, historical context and cultural setting. In these discussions, as well as in the notes and bibliographies, he draws on a wealth of recent scholarly research which gives added value to this classic resource.

Review

"I would urge all ministers and teachers of the New Testament to secure (this volume). There is nothing quite like (it) in our language, abreast of the latest scholarship, frankly facing all major New Testament problems and written with the deep conviction that these are, indeed, inspired documents. (Endorsement for the original edition)." (Wilbur M. Smith)

"The bedside companion (especially before examinations )of a generation of theological students. (Endorsement for the original edition)." (Michael Green, Church Times)

"The author is to be congratulated--and thanked. This will be a standard work for a generation. (Endorsement for the original edition)." (Ronald A. Ward, Christianity Today)
