A Beginner’s Guide to New Testament Studies is an accessible and balanced introduction that helps readers sort out key views on the most important debated issues in New Testament studies. New Testament scholar Nijay Gupta fairly presents the spectrum of viewpoints on thirteen topics—including the Synoptic problem, the historical Jesus, women as leaders, and the faith/works dispute—and offers reflections on why scholars disagree on these matters. Written to be accessible to students and readers without advanced training in New Testament studies, this book will serve as an excellent supplementary text for New Testament introduction courses.
