A valuable resource for all Bible students"This concise introduction to the New Testament addresses the needs and questions of students in multicultural classrooms who are studying for ministry."It is clear from this book that Echevarría is an erudite scholar of first rate. It is no easy feat to master all the material present in this book. The wonderful news is that the book is written in clear prose that is accessible to both students and pastors. I plan to use this book in my courses."--Osvaldo Padilla, Beeson Divinity School"A beautifully engaging invitation to read the New Testament in light of its literary context and content. Echevarría does not shy away from challenges and areas of scholarly disagreement, but his focus is to draw readers into engaging the text, and he succeeds. This is a book I will recommend readily when asked for a place to begin a deeper experience of the New Testament story and message."--Mariam Kamell Kovalishyn, Regent College"A refreshing departure from typical New Testament introductions. This book transcends traditional critical issues to explore the heart of Scripture's relevance in today's ministry. Echevarría's book both informs and challenges readers through concise summaries, thought-provoking questions, and insightful sidebars that enrich the reading experience. A valuable resource for all Bible students."--Dominick S. Hernández, Talbot en Español, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University"Professors can no longer assume that students in a New Testament introduction course have the background necessary to understand the leading introductory textbooks. Echevarría's succinct overviews will help students digest the message of each New Testament book and will give those who are not familiar with the content of the New Testament a helpful jumpstart in their studies."--Charles L. Quarles, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary"Echevarría has gifted students of the Bible with a truly refreshing and helpful resource. While not jettisoning critical issues, this volume keeps readers' eyes squarely on the message of the New Testament within the context of the Christian canon. I hope this book finds wide use in the classroom!"--Andrew M. King, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Spurgeon College
