The Interpretation of the New Testament 1861-1986 Summary

The Interpretation of the New Testament 1861-1986 by Stephen Neill (late Professor of Missions and Ecumenical Theology at Hamburg University, and Fellow, late Professor of Missions and Ecumenical Theology at Hamburg University, and Fellow, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford)

This is a new edition of the late Bishop Neill's widely acclaimed book, revised, expanded, and brought up to date by his former colleague the Revd Tom Wright. This masterly survey now describes the historical development of New Testament criticism from 1861 (the year Lightfoot became Hulsean Professor of Divinity at Cambridge) to the present day, the contrasting personalities of scholars, and the permanent contributions made by various schools. The study concludes with a new chapter by Tom Wright, covering New Testament scholarship of the last twenty five years.
