This book off ers an authoritative and accessible introduction to the New Testament and early Christian literature for all students of the Bible and the origins of Christianity.

The book is organized systematically with questions for in-class discussion and written assignments, step-by-step reading guides on individual works, special box features, charts, maps, and numerous illustrations designed to facilitate student use. An appendix containing translations of primary texts allows instant access to the writings outside the canon. For this new edition, Burkett has reorganized and rewritten many chapters, and has also incorporated revisions throughout the text, bringing it up to date with current scholarship. Th is volume is designed for use as the primary textbook for one-and two-semester courses on the New Testament and early Christianity.
