An Introduction to the New Testament: Contexts, Methods & Ministry Formation

In An Introduction to the New Testament (IVP Academic), David deSilva '87 highlights not only the historical, but also the social, cultural, and rhetorical context in which the New Testament was written. With a mind toward students preparing for the ministry, deSilva explores each chapter as a pastoral response, integrating maps, photos, and points of interest for an interdisciplinary examination.
