Introducing the New Testament: A Historical, Literary, and Theological Survey

In addition, this full-color book includes beautiful artwork illustrating the reception of the New Testament through various times and cultures.

Resources for students include introductory videos, chapter summaries, chapter objectives, study questions, flash cards, extra sidebars and charts, self quizzes, and bibliographies.
