Two evangelical specialists treat, in a solidly argued manner, for each of the books of the New Testament, the questions of author, date, sources, purpose, recipients. They also present a summary of the content of each of the books, note certain aspects of its message and the contribution it makes to the biblical canon and take stock of the state of research concerning it, including what can bring to its interpretation recent literary approaches and those of the social sciences. The reader will also find a sketch of the history of the study of the New Testament, and several chapters on related subjects such as epistolary form in the first century, the figure of Paul and the formation of the canon. An essential and fundamental work for a good understanding of the books of the New Testament in their context.
