| Description: |
Described by reviewers as `most informative' (The Advocate), `stimulating and sturdy' (Clergy Review), and `an ideal introduction to the subject' (Journal of Belief and Values), this is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of a well-established student text-book about the historical problems involved in the study of the New Testament and modern techniques for solving them. The author is also concerned with the influence of the NewTestament on subsequent religious and secular history. |
| Synopsis: |
The life and death of Jesus of Nazareth and the beginnings of the movement which venerated him are of profound religious significance to Christian believers today. However, these events are also part of our common history and have had enormous influence on the development of Western civilization, They are, therefore, legitimate subjects of historical enquiry. The historical introduction to the New Testament investigates the foundation of the new religious movement in the life of Jesus, the experiences which acted as a catalyst on missionary activity after his death, the factors which led to a separation of the movement from Judaism, and the development of the ecclesiastical structure through which Christianity has influenced subsequent secular and religious history. |
