Synopsis

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.
