Product Description

Product Description
"SCM Study Guide: New Testament Books", together with its companion volume on "New Testament Interpretation", offers an up-to-date, accessible introduction to this fast-changing area of theological study. Aimed at level one students, it encourages interaction with the New Testament texts and provides pointers for further reading and learning. The book describes the world out of which the New Testament came, and what can be known of the key figures of Jesus and Paul, before discussing the 27 books in turn. At every stage, attention is paid to the range of questions New Testament interpretation raises - historical, literary, theological - with worked examples from specific passages. Topics of particular interest include: What can be known about Jesus? Why are there four gospels? What is the Legacy of Paul? Does Revelation predict the End of the World?

About the Author
Ian Boxall is Tutorial Fellow in New Testament, at St Stephen's House, Oxford, and a member of the Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford.

4.0 out of 5 stars Books of the New Testament, 17 Jun 2009
By A. Gilmore (Lancing, West Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A useful and straightforward introduction to the complexity of the New Testament, acknowledging and explaining how it means different things to different people and the difficulties encountered in studying it and grasping its message. Boxall explains how meaning depends on context and intention. Do we focus on what the author intended, what the text actually says or what precisely it says to us? After studying `the Jesus effect' we have a rundown on textual criticism (scribal errors and variant readings), why four gospels, and an introduction to critical methods (source, form and redaction) in order to get behind the text, digging into its past as archaeologists remove layers of earth to explore their sites. Closer to home, we have a chapter on current `readings' (narrative, literary, feminist, liberation) as he relates biblical studies to theology and classroom to church. Examples and illustrations abound with boxed inserts (Reflection, Things to Do, Further Reading) and a final chapter to put into practice lessons learned. Teachers of Diploma and Undergraduate Courses and practitioners in churches will welcome it. Beginners will find it ideally suited to their level of understanding.
