| Summary: | Textbooks of New Testament theology have long been a German speciality, but in addition to Howard Marshall’s (2005) we now have two major American contributions, one more from a conservative evangelical perspective (Thielman, 2005), and this one by a distinguished American Roman Catholic scholar whose accounts of New Testament Christology and ethics are already widely used. The publisher says it integrates Protestant and Catholic approaches, and it is hard to detect any confessional bias in its thorough, balanced, and reliable account of the biblical writings. Four parts, the Synoptic, Pauline, Johannine Tradition, and Other Voices, are followed by a substantial conclusion on ‘the diverse unity of New Testament theology’. This does justice to a major concern of the discipline. |
