ISBN: 0664222366 ISBN-13: 9780664222369 Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press OUR PRICE: $27.90 Product Type: Paperback Published: November 2000 Annotation: In this clearly written introduction to the latter half of the New Testament, Donelson approaches the task by asking, "If we read this text in this way, what voices do we hear?" Such a reading strategy requires "historical imagination" because the documents are separated from us by time, space, language, and culture. It also requires making these texts conversation partners in our understanding about God and us. From Hebrews to Revelation will prove to be an ideal textbook for seminarians, undergraduates, and lay Bible students. |
