Starting New Testament Study provides an introduction to the books of the New Testament, their authors and their context for those just beginning to study the Bible. It has an emphasis on 'learning by doing': alongside the main narrative sweep come text boxes that introduce readers to areas of critical scholarship, maps, timelines and questions and exercises that encourage direct engagement with the biblical text. This helpful and encouraging book will enable the beginning student to start analysing New Testament texts for themselves and will develop their confidence and skills in this area.
