Reading the New Testament is an excellent introduction to the writings of the New Testament, written by a prominent scholar who is able to communicate the main ideas and results with a clear and simple style. This third edition, although leaving intact the structure of the book, has been rewritten extensively, updating the information and adding the results of new biblical approaches and research. Highlights of this new revised edition: - Extensively rewritten - New results of biblical exegesis incorporated - Updated and expanded bibliography - New maps and illustrations "With this third edition of her fine work, Dr. Pheme Perkins has taken a great book and made it still better.... Both teachers and students owe her a great debt for distilling the rich experience of a great teacher in a single book." --John P. Meier, University of Notre Dame. "This third revised edition of Reading the New Testament continues to make solid biblical scholarship accessible to a broad spectrum of readers....Already impressive for its longevity, this highly recommended book will continue to serve new readers for a long time to come." --John J. Pilch, Johns Hopkins University "For conciseness, clarity, and the ability to offer a balanced introduction to the literary, historical, and theological dimensions of the New Testament, the volume is unrivaled.... I can think of no others scholar today that I would rather have as a guide for my students as they begin their journey in understanding the New Testament!" --Margaret Y. MacDonald, St. Francis Xavier University +
