This means that the New Testament is studied in terms of its own time and place. It is allowed to speak in its own terms, out of its own assumptions, espousing its own values. involves cutting-edge research, bringing the results of scholarly discussions to the general reader provides resources for the reader who wishes to enter more deeply into the cholarly discussion. The contributors to the series are established scholars who have studied and taught the New Testament for many years and who can now reap a wide-ranging harvest from the fruits of their labors.
