“Russell Pregeant's introduction [in draft form] has proved to be a highly effective teaching tool in my undergraduate courses for two years. It succeeds brilliantly in its shared purpose of encouraging students to engage the New Testament writing-to converse, question, and grapple with these texts and the life-and-death issues they pose. Students who use this introduction not only will learn about the New Testament but also-and more importantly-become involved in it as active, insightful, and fully engaged readers.”
“At last! An introduction to the New Testament that is scholarly but not stuffy, comprehensive but no pretentious, and genuinely up-to-date, not merely trendy. Students lucky enough to be assigned this book will experience exactly what its author intends: informed and meaningful engagement with the writings themselves and with the significant issues and possibilities they raise about our existence as human beings.”
