Revision Changes

Chapter 1 now emphasizes the importance of studying the New Testament critically, utilizing the tools of modern scholarship; Chapter 6 is rewritten to underscore the value of modern approaches to studying the formation of the Gospels.

An new chapter (Chapter 11), “The Other Gospels: Additional Portraits of Jesus” is added.

Other changes include a revision of the “Acts of the Apostles” chapter, and expanded coverage of Paul’s thought, particularly his letter to the Romans.

The book’s final chapter contains a survey of post-New Testament Christian history, with a look at some compelling issues related to the New Testament’s continuing relevance in the third millennium.

The scholarship, Recommended Readings, Glossary, and boxes are updated throughout. All of the visual aids, particularly the maps in the early chapters, are improved.
