Editorial Reviews

Review

"As a student of the New Testament, I admire Johnson's thorough familiarity with scholarship, his desire to stay close to the texts themselves, and his lively interest in religious experience." -- ---Daniel J. Harrington, S.G. Theological Studies

"Readers of Luke Johnson's proliferating studies have come to expect a blend of masterful scholarship and raw imagination at once engaging and penetrating. His introduction to the New Testament will not disappoint. . . . The fresh vantage points into the contour and content of the texts themselves that his model opens up are to date without equal." -- ---David P. Moessner, Theology Today

"This is a resource which nobody who works with the New Testament should be without." -- - --Robert Morgan Theology

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable, scholarly introduction to the New Testament
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent introduction to the New Testament by Dr. Johnson. It was a required course in my masters program at Gonzaga University in a course on the New Testament. It is the most readable textbook I have read on the New Testament. Dr. Johnson summarizes New Testament scholarship and makes it very understandable. Compared to the writings of other scholars, he does not include extensive footnotes or references in every page, but rather includes a summary of references at the end of every chapter. This makes the text less technical, but yet insightful and dense with substantive ideas and scholarly notions. It is not a mere introduction, but Dr. Johnson also advances his own thesis on the development of the New Testament, which is articulated in part two where he discusses the claims of the first Christians, the Resurrection Faith, and Jesus in the Memory of the Church. His discussion on the Resurrection experience in the early Church is a unique contribution in our understanding of how the Christian faith developed based on the authentic experience and reflection of the early Christians. I highly recommend this great book for any undergraduate and graduate student. I often use it as a reference guide when I need to have a deeper understanding of a particular book or section of the New Testament.

"Luke Timothy Johnson offers a compelling interpretation of the New Testament as a witness to the rise of early faith in Jesus. Critically judicious and theologically attuned to the role of the New Testament in the life of the church, Johnson deftly guides his reader through a wealth of historical and literary description and invites critical reflection on the meaning of these ancient writings for today".

4.0 out of 5 stars Through and Informative
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2008
Verified Purchase
A very in-depth study of the New Testament. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to study the larger themes of the New Testament. Gives a good argument in favor of Pauline authorship (something that is often questioned when referring to Ephesians, Colossians, II Thessalonians, and especially the Pastoral Letters). This is a book that would be a good addition to anyone's Biblical library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Resource for the Student
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2010
Verified Purchase
This book is a wonderful for the student who has moved beyond Sunday school and into earnest study. It is written in accessible concise language. While the author does assume scholarly and theoretical positions on certain matters, it is never without a clear declaration and thorough description of why.

Although I purchased this as a textbook, I will be returning to it after the class for further self-study.
