New Testament in its World (SPCK Publishing)

An Introduction to the History, Literature and Theology of the First Christians The two series of books aby N. T. Wright, Christian Origins and the Question of God and The New Testament for Everyone, constitute a mixture of academic and popular writing that has proved hugely influential among Christian students and general readers of all denominations.

This introduction to the New Testament draws on and supplements key parts of those books to create a lively, student-friendly textbook for use in seminaries and universities throughout the world. The inclusion of full-colour maps, diagrams, charts and photos, along with special features on key issues of interpretation and major theological topics, will ensure that this introduction fully meets the needs of a new generation of Bible students.

It will also prove invaluable to church leaders, homegroups and others who want to better understand the foundation documents of the faith and how we can best interpret and apply them to today.
