It succeeds brilliantly in its shared purpose of encouraging students to engage the New Testament writing-to converse, question, and grapple with these texts and the life-and-death issues they pose. Students who use this introduction not only will learn about the New Testament but also-and more importantly-become involved in it as active, insightful, and fully engaged readers."--John A. Darr, Boston College "At last! An introduction to the New Testament that is scholarly but not stuffy, comprehensive but no pretentious, and genuinely up-to-date, not merely trendy. Students lucky enough to be assigned this book will experience exactly what its author intends: informed and meaningful engagement with the writings themselves and with the significant issues and possibilities they raise about our existence as human beings." --Victor Paul Furnish, South Methodist University
