“One of the most exciting books available for introducing students to the New Testament at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Firmly and accurately grounded in literary and historical understanding, it dynamically leads the student into issues that have been emerging in recent theological, ethic, and social scientific, theological, and psychological discussion and debate about early Christianity and its heritage into the present. A wonderful contribution.”
“This book could have been only written by a seasoned scholar, experienced teacher, and skilled writer. Russell Prageant is all of these. He offers an informative, balanced, and eminently clear introduction to the writings of the New Testament and also to various hermeneutical strategies.”
