Acknowledged as a paragon of New Testament studies in his lifetime, Brown was a gifted communicator who wrote with ease and clarity. Abridged by Marion Soards, who worked with Brown on the original text, this new, concise version maintains the essence and centrist interpretation of the original without tampering with Brown's perspective, insights, or conclusions. The biblical writings themselves remain the focus, but there are also chapters dealing with the nature, origin, and interpretation of the New Testament texts, as well as chapters concerning the political, social, religious, and philosophical world of antiquity. Furthermore, augmenting Brown's commentary on the New Testament itself are topics such as the Gospels' relationship to one another</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Raymond Edward Brown</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- New Testament -- Introductions</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- New Testament -- Theology</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- New Testament -- Canon</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">225.61</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B877-R27</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0385247672</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/5/51YCT4bA5KL.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/5/51YCT4bA5KL.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070439.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
