Studying the New Testament [antikvár]

Introduction This book has been written for students—both clergy and lay—as a guide in studying the New Testament. When used in conjunction with the companion volume, Groundwork of Biblical Studies, it offers a scheme for working through the New Testament in twelve studies. Each chapter provides the outline of a study, together with comments on selected passages. It is, of course, impossible to cover the whole of the New Testament in such a course, but it is hoped that the passages which have been selected for study will serve to indicate the most important issues, and suggest possibilities for further study. At the end of each chapter there are suggestions for further reading. More difficult books are marked with an asterisk. Questions on each chapter will be found in the Study Scheme at the end of the book. In addition to the sections of Groundwork of Biblical Studies which are included in the study outline there are others which should be referred to when need arises. Students are unlikely, for example, to want to read through a catalogue of the 'Cities of St. Paul', but will find this chapter useful when reading Paul's letters or the Acts of the Apostles. Sections which will be found useful for reference are: 10 1-s The History of the Biblical Period 14 a-b, g-k The Ancient Manuscripts 27 Temple and Synagogue 33 Jewish Sects and Parties 35 Cities of St. Paul 36 New Testament Chronology
