A Brief Introduction to the New Testament is a concise and more pedagogical version of Bart D. Ehrman's bestselling The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings, 3/e. Retaining the approach of the longer textbook while condensing and simplifying much of its material, this volume looks at the New Testament from a consistently historical and comparative perspective and emphasizes the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature. Rather than shying away from the critical problems presented by these books, Ehrman addresses the historical and literary challenges they pose. He shows why scholars continue to argue over such significant issues as how the books of the New Testament came into being, what they mean, and how they relate to contemporary Christian and nonChristian literature. Distinctive to this study is its emphasis on the historical, literary, and religious milieu of the GrecoRoman world, including early Judaism.Features:* Covers the fundamentals of New Testament scholarship in an engaging style, making challenging material easily understandable to undergraduates in introductory courses* Retains the numerous pedagogical devices from the longer textbook:'What to Expect' and 'At a Glance' boxes introduce and provide summaries of the material covered in each chapter'Something to Think About' and 'Some More Information' boxes offer thoughtprovoking asides* Adds new study aids:Key Terms (each appearing in boldface the first time it is used), Questions for Study and Reflection, and a greatly expanded Glossary* Offers streamlined coveragethis volume is nine chapters shorter than The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the New Testament, 3/e* Includes a fullcolor eightpage insert on archaeology* A Student Website contains chapter summaries, guides for reading, and selfquizzesAn Instructor's Manual provides chapter summaries, student reading guides, pedagogical suggestions, and exam questions and answersIdeal for undergraduate and seminary classes in the New Testament, Biblical Studies, and Christian Origins, A Brief Introduction to the New Testament is an accessible, clearly written introduction that encourages students to consider the historical issues surrounding these writings.
