| Publisher Description: As the inaugural volume in the Baylor-Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity series, Jens Schr ter's celebrated From Jesus to the New Testament is now available for the first time in English. Schr ter provides a rich narrative to Christian history by looking back upon the theological forces that created the New Testament canon. Through his textual, historical, and hermeneutical examination of early Christianity, Schr ter reveals how various writings that form the New Testament's building blocks are all held together. Jesus not only bound the New Testament, but launched a theological project that resulted in the canon. Schr ter's study will undoubtedly spark new discussion about the formation of the canon. |
