While the first American edition of this book, published more than a decade ago, was a revised translation of the German book, Einfuhrung in das Neue Testament, this second edition of the first volume of the Introduction to the New Testament is no longer dependent upon a previously published German work.
Contents are the theological conceptions of the authors of the New Testament, considered from systematic viewpoints, in the following sequence: Paul, the synoptics (Jesus, the saying-source), the Johannine literature (including the Apocalypse of John), the deutero-Pauline writings, the catholic epistles.
