This introduction to the New Testament takes a comparative historical approach to early Chrisitian writings. Without shying away from the critical challenge posed by the ancient books, it emphasizes their impressive diversity and discusses the ongoing academic debate over their authorship, meaning, origin, collection in a canon of Scripture and reason for existence. A feature of the study is the presentation of the Greco-Roman world, including early Judea, as not merely a background to early Christian writings, but as the context from which the books emerged and within which they must be viewed.

great book about other christian writing

First-rate textbook
Although obviously centered on Ehrman's kind of scholarship--literary-historical--this is the best book of its kind that I have seen. I'm 80 and out of teaching now, but I would unhestitatingly adopt it as my basic text were I to teach again.
