Many introductions to the New Testament are either too simple, not providing all the necessary information, or overly complicated and written at a level out of the reach of an average person with no seminary training. This work is neither. The author is thorough, (providing over 200 footnotes), but at a level that is understandable, and in a concise manner.
In this work Weaver discusses issues of:
-authorship
-date
-location of writing
-recipients
-purpose
-book message
He also addresses more challenging subjects, such as:
-the synoptic "problem"
-the ending of the Gospel of Mark
-the northern and southern Galatia theories
-the genre of Hebrews
-the slavific status of the readers of Hebrews
-justification in the epistle of James
-interpretive approaches to the book of 1 John
-interpretive approaches to the book of Revelation
Weaver provides important background information concerning the following biblical cities:
-Corinth
-Ephesus
-Philippi
-Colossae
-Thessalonica
For those who are visual learners, a plethora of charts are provided including:
-The Seven Signs in John's Gospel
-The Messianic Prophecies of Matthew's Gospel
-Paul's Interactions with the Corinthian Church
-Paul's Roman Imprisonments Contrasted
-"these things" clauses in 1 John
-Literature of the New Testament Books
