A Concise Guide to Reading the New Testament: A Canonical Introduction

The New Testament came together, and comes to us, not as a randomly sorted set of individual books but as a definitely shaped and ordered whole. This concise, theological introduction to the New Testament sheds light on the interpretive significance of the canon's structure and sequence and articulates how the final shape of the canon is formative for Christian discipleship. Providing an essential overview often missing from New Testament books and courses, this book will serve as an accessible supplement to any New Testament or Bible introduction textbook. It also contains questions for discussion at the end of each chapter, as well as a glossary of important words and suggestions for further reading at the end of the book.
