Media Reviews
At last! A coursebook that sets the New Testament documents in the context of other Christian literature from the same period. Ehrman's collection presents the New Testament in a truly 'historical' way and is a worthy companion to his The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early
Christian Writings. Ehrman's collection should obviate the need for professors of the New Testament to assign several books of documents for their courses. --Elizabeth A. Clark, Duke University
