Louis Berkhof's introduction for students and general readers, including his own appraisal of the most influential nineteenth-century New Testament scholars. Read more.
Designed for students and general readers, this book directs its readers toward a greater appreciation of the New Testament writings themselves rather than only of the scholarship about them.
It includes an extended analysis of the literature on the New Testament, with Berkhof's own appraisal of the most influential nineteenth-century scholars, which makes it a useful window on a period whose conclusions still shape the field. Although his subject is the Bible, his pursuit is unapologetically theological: he aims at the message rather than only the history.
