Challenge to orthodoxy
To bring this widely acclaimed book completely up to date, the late Bishop Neill's colleague New Testament Wright has revised and expanded the entire contents and added a new chapter covering New Testament scholarship of the last twenty-five years. This masterful survey describes the historical development of New Testament criticism, the contrasting personalities of scholars, and the permanent contributions made by various schools, ending with an assessment of the current status of the field.
