- Summary:
- Designed especially for students learning to navigate the Bible as Christian Scripture, A Companion to the New Testament serves as an accessible, reliable, and engaging guide to each New Testament book's contents. Although they sit at the end of the New Testament's order, the last nine books in the Bible-Hebrews through Revelation-are hardly optional reading. This third volume of the Companion demonstrates that these books provide valuable glimpses into the lives, hopes, troubles, and worries of ancient Christian communities as they sought to make their way through a changing landscape that appeared rife with threats. No one document is exactly like any other; they speak in a variety of voices while drawing from a variety of traditions to express their convictions and to make their case. Taken together, the final books provide an enduring reminder of the diversity, change, vitality, and occasional struggles that left enduring impressions on churches' efforts to understand who they were, how they should live, and what they should expect for their future.
