This new edition of Bart Ehrman's highly successful introduction approaches the New Testament from a consistently historical and comparative perspective, emphasizing the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature. Rather than shying away from the critical problems presented by these books, Ehrman addresses the historical and literary challenges they pose and shows why scholars continue to argue over such significant issues as how the books of the New Testament came into being, what they mean, how they relate to contemporary Christian and non-Christian literature, and how they came to be collected into a canon of Scripture. Distinctive to this study is its emphasis on the historical, literary, and religious milieu of the Greco-Roman world, including early Judaism. As part of its historical orientation, this text also discusses works by other Christian writers who were roughly contemporary with the New Testament, such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the letters of Ignatius. The volume is enhanced by two colour inserts, one on illuminated manuscripts and the other on archaeology. New to this edition are: additional material on archaeology, including a new eight-page colour insert; "What to Expect" and "At a Glance" boxes that provide summaries of the material covered in each chapter; several new "Something to Think About" and "Some More Information" boxes; more extensive treatments of Judaism and of the role of women in the history of early Christianity; nine new illustrations; and an Instructor's Manual containing chapter summaries, discussion questions, and possible examination questions. Ideal for undergraduate and seminary classes in the New Testament, Biblical Studies, and Christian Origins, "The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings, 3/e", is an accessible, clearly written introduction that encourages students to consider the historical issues surrounding these writings.

great book about other christian writing
Ehrman makes an "easy to read and find" set of these often talked about books.

First-rate textbook
Although obviously centered on Ehrman's kind of scholarship--literary-historical--this is the best book of its kind that I have seen. I'm 80 and out of teaching now, but I would unhestitatingly adopt it as my basic text were I to teach again.
