7 Challenges That Shaped The New Testament
$49.99
The New Testament writings reflect a sense of wrestling to understand what the world-shattering events of Jesus’s life, death, resurrection, and ascension mean in the rough-and-tumble of daily life in a conflicted world. In this book, a senior New Testament scholar investigates seven critical areas of tension–historical, moral, political, material, social, perceptual, and temporal–that shape the “big ideas” discussed and debated in the New Testament.
This lively investigation explores the challenges that influenced the New Testament writings and how the writers responded to those tensions. The author shows that out of this upheaval came a remarkable set of creative, dynamic writings that have shaped and challenged millions of lives as sacred Scripture.
This accessibly written book offers a fresh way to learn about the world and content of the New Testament writings. It will help readers appreciate the rich diversity of New Testament thought cohering around commitment to the one Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
