This survey textbook by two respected New Testament scholars is designed to meet the needs of contemporary evangelical undergraduates. The book effectively covers the New Testament books and major topics in the New Testament, assuming no prior academic study of the Bible. The authors pay attention to how the New Testament documents fit together as a canonical whole that supplements the Old Testament to make up the Christian Scriptures. They also show how the New Testament writings provide basic material for Christian doctrine, spirituality, and engagement with culture. Chapters can be assigned in any order, making this an ideal textbook for one-semester courses at evangelical schools. This is the first volume in a new series of survey textbooks that will cover the Old and New Testaments. The book features full-color illustrations that hold interest and aid learning and offers a full array of pedagogical aids: photographs, sidebars, maps, time lines, charts, glossary, and discussion questions. Additional resources for instructors and students are available through Textbook eSources.

"This book is a welcome accompaniment to college and seminary courses but equally helpful to any who want to read the Christian Scriptures (or the latest bestseller on them) with a sharp yet appreciative eye."---Susan R. Garrett, Professor of New Testament, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary "Academic study of the New Testament and its origins often prompts Christians to rethink their assumptions about the Bible and how it matters for their lives. But out of these experiences can emerge a more robust and responsible understanding of Scripture. Jaime Clark-Soles knows all this very well; she is a hospitable and lively guide into the most crucial `big issues' that students must consider as they seek to engage the New Testament deeply with their hearts, souls, and minds."---Matthew L. Skinner, Associate Professor of New Testament, Luther Seminary Most Christians and many new students are unaware of the doctrinal debates taking place within the religious academic community. Clark-Soles invites us to find common ground by considering the various debates, the reasons they persist, the implications of each, and how they pertain to Christian identity and faith within the larger contemporary culture.

Through careful exegesis in both Old and New Testaments, David Peterson unveils the total life-orientation of worship that is found in Scripture. Rather than determining for ourselves how we should worship, we, his people, are called to engage with God on the terms he proposes and in the way he alone makes possible.

This book is the dogmatic sequel to Levering's Engaging the Doctrine of Marriage, in which he argued that God's purpose in creating the cosmos is the eschatological marriage of God and his people.. God sets this marriage into motion through his covenantal election of a particular people, the people of Israel. Central to this people's relationship with the Creator God are their Scriptures, exodus, Torah, Temple, land, and Davidic kingship. As a Christian Israelology, this book devotes a chapter to each of these topics, investigating their theological significance both in light of ongoing Judaism and in light of Christian Scripture (Old and New Testaments) and Christian theology. The book makes a significant contribution to charting a path forward for Jewish-Christian dialogue from the perspective of post-Vatican II Catholicism.
