Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

"And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger." Jesus is the central figure of the New Testament and this third volume in the popular Exploring the Bible series examines Jesus in three distinct ways: A man like other men, a Jewish rabbi, and the Christ of Christian faith.

Then it's on to the cantankerous Paul, the other New Testament authors, and the wild and baffling book called Revelation.

Learn what Nazareth was like in the first century, discover what scholars know and don't know about Jesus as a historical figure, and explore how Paul really wrote all those letters. And who is the Antichrist anyway?

A Leader's Guide with detailed lesson plans for six group sessions is sold separately.

Other volumes in the series include:
Volume 1: What Is the Bible?
Volume 2: Introducing the Old Testament

PRAISE FOR EXPLORING THE BIBLE: THE DICKINSON SERIES

Dr. Harvey Cox
Hollis Research Professor of Divinity

"It would be hard to find a treatment of the New Testament that is fresher, more accessible, and more grounded in solid information than Anne Robertson’s Introducing the New Testament. Every page reveals a lively and imaginative teacher who knows what students need to know and—just as important—knows how to communicate that knowledge in terms that students can grasp."

Dr. Justo L. González

"Exploring the Bible: The Dickinson Series is a magnificent Bible study resource. The questions we all have about the Bible are addressed in clear, accessible, and often witty language, and questions we didn’t even know to ask are introduced in lively and provocative ways. Those who have studied the Bible for years will find their understanding deepened, and those for whom the Bible is a new and unfamiliar land will find a reliable roadmap. The Leader’s Guides are filled with stimulating teaching suggestions."
