<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Featuring vibrant full color throughout, Bart D. Ehrman's highly successful introduction approaches the New Testament from a consistently historical and comparative perspective, emphasizing the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature. Distinctive to this study is its unique focus on the historical, literary, and religious milieux of the Greco-Roman world, including early Judaism. As part of its historical orientation, the book also discusses other Christian writings that were roughly contemporary with the New Testament, such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the letters of Ignatius. Bart Ehrman's introduction to the New Testament has been the number one selling textbook over several editions not only because the content is solid and current but more so because Ehrman's prose is almost universally praised as being unusually clear and appealing for undergraduates and general readers. Ehrman will revise and update the book according to reviewer feedback"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Featuring vibrant full color throughout, the seventh edition of Bart D.

The exploration of the New Testament documents from a historical and exegetical perspective is invaluable. Ehrman's writing style is engaging, conversationalist, and easy to follow. I can imagine him in a conversation with his students as he wrote the book.--William Rodriguez, <em>Bethune Cookman University</em><p></p><br>Excellent. The book's main strengths are its impeccable scholarship and clarity of explanation. It's the only textbook I use in any course.--Corrie Norman, <em>University of Wisconsin-Madison</em><p></p><br><em>The New Testament</em> draws from a rich consultation with numerous resources, aptly distributed, so that Ehrman gives a nod to all parties, policies, and nuances. His prose style is substantive and accessible and his treatment of theological platforms is respectfully acknowledged. The book's advantage is its appeal to 21st-century students.--Doris Plantus, <em>Oakland University</em><p></p><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Bart D.
