“Andreas Köstenberger's Handbook is immensely informative and eminently readable, helping students, pastors, and more generally readers of the New Testament acquire an in-depth understanding of an often neglected but highly important part of the Scriptures. It can be used as an introduction, a brief commentary, or a guide in one's personal reading of the Bible. I highly recommend this book.”
“It is no mean feat to strike a middle course between New Testament introduction and New Testament commentary: it is all too easy to succumb either to superficiality or to an inundation of details. Köstenberger masterfully steers through to produce a reading of the back end of the New Testament that is highly informative and highly readable. It offers tremendous help to students, pastors, and anyone else interested in understanding these books without getting stuck in the weeds.”
“Here, finally, we have a volume on Hebrews to Revelation that is more detailed than a typical New Testament introduction but not as overwhelming as a commentary. With Andreas Köstenberger as a faithful and steady guide, the reader gets a top-notch analysis of all the key passages without being bogged down by mountains of information--a wonderful balance that will surely make this volume a must-have tool for all Christian leaders.”
