The New Testament: Its Background and Message

A Great New Testament Introduction

By Mark K. Wickersham "Wick" - December 8, 2009

Black's revision of Thomas D. Lea's classic introduction to the New Testament was one of two books that was required reading for an online course that I took at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. The other book, An Introduction to the New Testament by D.A. Carson and Douglas J. Moo, is much more academic than The New Testament: Its Background and Message. Lea's The New Testament covers different types of literature found in the New Testament and their cultural, historical, political, and religious backgrounds. Although the book is designed for seminarians, I would recommend it to any layperson who wants a systematic introduction of the New Testament. It should be noted that both of the authors come from Baptist backgrounds.

David Cartwright

By E. David Cartwright - August 8, 2005

This book is an excellent overview of the New Testament. Especially well treated is the background leading up to 1st century Judea in culture, geography, and political standings. Done in easy to understand language.

Some terms need clarification and refinement, but that would make the book over 1000 pages... read more

Excellent Source for General Study

By Repentant Centurion - March 11, 2010

I've used this book for two seminary courses and found it to be an excellent reference tool. Not for the deep theological debates or studies necessarily, but an easy to read reference tool for the average person who wants to know more background about the New Testament. The book is well organized which has been helpful on our open book quizes! Would recommend for any library.
