Produktbeschreibung

Short description/annotation
A fully revised second edition of the Companion to the New Testament incorporating new scholarship.

Main description
Since this Companion to the New Testament was first published in 1970, new methods of interpretation and sustained research into the environment of Jesus, and the early church, have combined to correct former misunderstandings and to set old problems in a new light. This fully revised second edition now follows the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) to provide a running commentary on the text of the New Testament while taking account of the findings of recent scholarship. Using no technical language, it aims to set the text in the context of the time and place in which it was written, and to clarify its meaning in the light of modern methods of research and interpretation. Accessible and up-to-date, this work will be invaluable to clergy, students and all who have a serious interest in the New Testament.

Table of contents:
Preface; Preface to the First Edition (1970); 1. The New Testament; 2. The gospels; 3. Acts of the apostles; 4. Letters; 5. Revelation.
