This up-to-date New Testament introduction has been carefully designed for the classroom. Mark Allan Powell presents disputed and controversial issues fairly, neither dictating conclusions nor privileging skepticism over faith-based perspectives. Chapters appear in the book in canonical order but are designed for assignment in any order. --from publisher description
