Summary: "An Excellent New Testament Resource"

I purchased this book last summer for a New Testament Introduction course I took at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. Another book that was required for that class was The New Testament: Its Background and Message by Thomas D. Lea and David Alan Black. Both books are excellent books designed for seminarians, but Carson and Moo's book is much more scholarly. Carson and Moo's book is divided into 26 chapters and includes some special chapters such as, Thinking about the Study of the New Testament, Paul: Apostle and Theologian and The New Testament Canon. Some New Testament books are combined into one chapter. This includes the Pastoral Epistles and 1, 2 and 3 John. The contents, author (s), origin, date, destination, purpose, text, adoption into the Canon, recent studies, theme and contribution of the New Testament books are examined. A Scripture Index, Name Index and Subject Index are found in the back of the book. This is a great resource to help you accurately understand the New Testament message within its historical setting.

Summary: "Introduction to the New Testament"

Douglas Moo is a gifted, talented writer who, without being too theologically stuffy, can clearly explain things in layman's terms, giving one a clearer understanding of the New Testament: what it meant for those living around the time of Christ as well as what is means for us today.

I would also like to recommend two of Moo's other books, Encountering the Book of Romans (which is a foundational book when it comes to understanding the work of Christ) as well as his commentary on the book of James.

These works will give you a greater understanding and appreciation for the Word of God.

Summary: "Great Introduction to NT!"

This is a great primer for NT study. The authors are conservative evangelicals and tend to land there in their conclusions. The sections on Canon is very good and concise, one of the best short treatments around. Also helpful is the discussion of the "New Perspective" on Paul.

Summary: "An Introduction to the New Testament"

Great information, but hard to read. Letters are too small. Would like a considerable larger print, even if it means a larger book. Or an electronic option.
