Description
This capstone work from widely respected senior evangelical scholar Donald Hagner offers a substantial introduction to the New Testament. Hagner deals with the New Testament both historically and theologically, employing the framework of salvation history. He treats the New Testament as a coherent body of texts and stresses the unity of the New Testament without neglecting its variety.
Although the volume covers typical questions of introduction, such as author, date, background, and sources, it focuses primarily on understanding the theological content and meaning of the texts, putting students in a position to understand the origins of Christianity and its canonical writings.
Throughout, Hagner delivers balanced conclusions in conversation with classic and current scholarship. The book includes summary tables, diagrams, maps, and extensive bibliographies.
Donald A. Hagner (PhD, University of Manchester) is George Eldon Ladd Professor Emeritus of New Testament and senior professor of New Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. He is the author of Encountering the Book of Hebrews, The Jewish Reclamation of Jesus, New Testament Exegesis and Research: A Guide for Seminarians, and commentaries on Hebrews and Matthew. He is also coeditor of the New International Greek Testament Commentary and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Advance Praise
“Hagner encapsulates a vast range of material in this book in a way that is accessible to students and engages most of the prominent intriguing debates in New Testament studies from over the past hundred years. Not rigidly beholden to any one camp, this work is substantive, readable, balanced, informed, critical, and reverent.”
—Craig Keener, professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary
“Donald Hagner’s The New Testament is a solid overview of key issues in the New Testament. Here and there one may take a different view, but Hagner has put on the table the key points that inform the message of the New Testament, making this a most useful work.”
—Darrell L Bock, executive director of cultural engagement, Center for Christian Leadership; senior research professor of New Testament studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
“Don Hagner’s encyclopedic knowledge of the New Testament and of New Testament scholarship is put to excellent use in this detailed survey from which seasoned scholars as well as beginners can learn much. Here is an introduction that takes seriously both the human authorship and the divine inspiration of Scripture and shows that the critical study of the former, particularly in regard to the Gospels, does not necessarily threaten the reality of the latter. The author’s caution in refusing to go beyond probable solutions to many problems rather than boldly asserting dubious, speculative hypotheses is to be warmly welcomed as is his overriding concern to bring out the theological message of the New Testament books understood against their Old Testament background.”
