More About This Textbook

Overview

Drane's newest edition retains the clarity, accessibility, and graphic interest that have made it a favorite introductory text for a decade.

This revised edition also adds a full account of recent scholarly developments in areas such as the historical Jesus, the theologies of the four Gospels, and the role of Paul in the transformation of the church into a separate movement from Judaism. It also includes a new chapter on the interpretation of the New Testament.

"A remarkable book. Drane displays both a considerable grasp of the material and an ability to express knowledge in an interesting and balanced manner."
—British Journal of Religious Education

"A happy combination of careful scholarship, lucid prose, appropriate illustrations and attractive layout."
—Christianity Today

"The book is a gold mine."
—Catholic Herald
