"Created with students primarily in mind, this one-volume dictionary offers in a more accessible form the most important articles from the four award-winning IVP New Testament dictionaries: Dictionary of Jesus and the gospels; Dictionary of Paul and his letters; Dictionary of the later New Testament & its developments; and Dictionary of New Testament background." "This dictionary cross-references these four unabridged IVP New Testament dictionaries and can be a resource that comes alongside an introduction to the New Testament, offering additional information and points of view. It can also serve as a stand-alone introduction to the New Testament."--Jacket.
