A Critical Introduction to the New Testament: Interpreting the Message and Meaning of Jesus Christ
"In addition to reflecting on the nature of theology itself, [this ambitious book] provides a judicious account of the theological themes of the New Testament, and effectively sketches the history of scholarship on them as a way to illustrate the different avenues to the text open to the serious student. ...Teachers as well as students will benefit immensely from the challenge and rewards that will accrue from reading this book carefully."
