Introduction to the New Testament, An : Contexts, Methods & Ministry Formation
Outline: Many introductions zero in on the historical contexts in which the New Testament literature was written.

Few introductions integrate instructions in evegetical and interpretive strategies with the customary considerations of authorship, dating, audience, and message. This introduction explains a relevant facet of interpretation with each portion of New Testament literature. Rarely do introductions approach their task mindful of students preparing for ministry. This introductions is explicit in doing so, recognizing that the New Testament itself is a pastoral resource, Chapters conclude by considering implications for ministry formation.
