A. Piñero & J. Peláez
The Study of the New Testament
A Comprehensive Introduction
(Translated by David E. Orton & Paul Ellingworth)
The most thorough grounding available in the various
disciplines of NT study, this is an invaluable tool for students,
scholars and other serious readers of the earliest Christian writings.
With a full survey of scholarship on each topic, in 600 packed pages the
volume gives a reliable, in-depth presentation of: the history of
interpretation – the NT canon – text criticism – the language of the NT
– the historical and literary context – methods and approaches.
“This is an outstanding introduction to the study
of the NT, and deserves to be widely read. The volume treats most issues
of importance in NT exegesis in a depth virtually unknown in
introductions to exegesis in English. On top of that the authors have a
very balanced view of the issues. This is the best overall discussion
that I know.” S.E. Porter, Journal for the Study of the New
Testament
“… the myriad delights of this
book” … “The authors … seem to pitch their work in an almost impossibly
inclusive space – and impressively pull it off!” L.J. Lawrence,
Expository Times
“ reliable and responsible scholarly information
… an excellent reference work” A.F.J. Klijn,
NedThT
“This splendid translation … brings up to date
the well-established, Spanish original of 1995, and justifiably makes it
available now to a wider audience … The authors explain the history and
methodologies carefully; this is a valuable and in-depth survey of a
wide and complex field” J.K. Elliott,
