This is a compilation of essays that reveal the way that scholars are approaching the field of New Testament Theology. The types of essays are written by experts in the field. It will be a challenging read for lay readers. It is a textbook that we use at ETF-Leuven.

[Brett · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a collection of independent essays, so some are obviously better than others. Some are excellent. Some are alright. All are challenging. They all address the problem of history and theology in the discipline of New Testament of Theology, from various aspects.
