Stephen Harris's best-selling text is designed for students undertaking their first systematic study of the New Testament. The purpose of the text is twofold: to introduce readers to the content and major themes of each book of the New Testament and to familiarize them with the goals and methods of the most recent New Testament scholarship.
Excellent book
| Customer Rating: | | Excellent book for introduction to the New Testament and seminary students. This book was recommended by a Princeton graduate and NT scholar. |
The New Testament - A Student Introduction
| Customer Rating: | It is a well written book, but not a well rounded book. Like most studies it looks at 19th and 20th century research as more valued than 1st and 2nd century sources. Also positions on text are stated without the supporting information being presented or sited.
There is no exploration into the Textus Receptus (King James) vs. the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus (Most modern translations including the Modern King James), and the impact or potential impact of one translation versus the other.
But this is only an introduction. Also because it is only an introduction I would say that the price is higher than it should be. |
Great textbook
| Customer Rating: | | very modern, great narrative and details - very concise, entertaining - and most importantly very accurate and educational |
A Superb, Scholarly, and Readable Introduction
| Customer Rating: | | This book demonstrates a rare combination of brilliant scholarship and clear, concise writing. This book approaches the New Testament from a historical perspective, but is in no way an attack on faith (as some reviewers have implied). I had the good fortune to take a class with Professor Harris, and I feel that his brilliant mind and approchable style really come through in this work. I could not recommend this book more strongly. |
Great
| Customer Rating: | | This was a used item, but it was exactly what I needed, especially considering that I was a bit apprehensive about possibly purchasing the wrong item. It came in a timely fashion, and was gently used, as described. |
