Contributors connect historical-critical analysis with sensitivity to current theological, cultural, and interpretive issues. Introductory articles describe the challenges of reading the New Testament in ancient and contemporary contexts, as well as exploring other themes ranging from the Jewish heritage of early Christianity to the contexts of diaspora. These are followed by the survey "Introduction to Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation." Each chapter (Hebrews through Revelation) includes an introduction and commentary on the text through the lenses of three critical questions: The Text in Its Ancient Context. What did the text probably mean in its original historical and cultural context? The Text in the Interpretive Tradition. How have centuries of reading and interpreting shaped our understanding of the text? The Text in Contemporary Discussion. What are the unique challenges and interpretive questions that arise for readers and hearers of the text today? Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation introduces fresh perspectives and draws students, as well as preachers and interested readers, into the challenging work of interpretation. 410 0$aFortress commentary on the Bible. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a227.07 702 $aS{acute}anchez$b David A$g(David Arthur),$f1960- 702 $aKittredge$b Cynthia Briggs 702 $aAymer$b Margaret P. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136713603321 996 $aHebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation$92984129 997 $aUNINA
