The Dictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Developments offers a summa of New Testament studies. Designed to bring students- teachers- pastors and general readers up to date and up to speed- this one-of-a-kind reference volume presents more information than any other single work--dealing exclusively with the theology- literature- background and scholarship of the later New Testament and the apostolic church. In-depth- comprehensive articles focus on theological themes- methods of interpretation- background topics and various other subjects specifically related to the study of New Testament theology and literature. Expert contributors include Darrell Bock- George R. Beasley-Murray- I. Howard Marshall- Ben Witherington III and James D. G. Dunn. Wide-ranging articles range from the books of James and Jude to household codes- from the Roman emperor cult to gnosticism and docetism- questions of canon to second-century church leaders like Ignatius and Polycarp. TheDictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Developments takes its place alongside the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels and Dictionary of Paul and His Letters in presenting mature evangelical scholarship--committed to the authority of Scripture- utilizing the best of critical methods- and maintaining a dialogue with contemporary scholarship and the challenges facing the church.
