Texts of the New Testament
The book opens with a synopsis of one-hundred years of New Testament scholarship. It reveals shortcomings in understanding the ‘texts’ (their genre, style and purpose), their historical ‘contexts’ and the role of writers. It reveals shortcomings too in the research method.
The book then explores how Mark’s Gospel came to be; how one gospel became three; how these three prompted other writings into being and how they, in turn, prompted others, all for inclusion, eventually, in the Canon of the New Testament. The final stage of disclosure is reached as the data is set out in meaningful tabular form.
